A few things of slight concern:

not everyone is going to know what the Class of 2013 is - clarify
perhaps you should mention that he is playing for the Michigan Wolverines

Other than that, looks good. Go Phightins! 16:38, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

Per your suggestion, I have added a description in the article of what the "Class of 2013" means. The article already mentions that Green is playing for the Michigan Wolverines. Not room to fit everything into the hook -- I generally try to make hooks as short as I can. Cbl62 (talk) 16:53, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

What if the hook read, that ... rated the No. 1 running back in the college football recruiting Class of ... ? Go Phightins! 16:59, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

That makes it a pretty long hook at 197 characters, but I have no objection to that. Cbl62 (talk) 17:05, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

Great.
