One of the more versatile players to play for the Cardinals, Ibn Green revolutionized the tight end position at UofL. Green is the top tight end in school history, holding school records for most receptions by a tight end (217), most receiving yards by a tight end (2,830) and most touchdown receptions by a tight end (33).

As a freshman, Green recorded the third-most receiving yards by a freshman when he caught 47 passes for 535 yards and five scores. After recording 55 catches for 731 yards and eight scores the following year, he went on to register 55 receptions for 884 yards and tied a school record with 12 touchdown receptions.

In his final season, Green totaled 60 catches for 680 yards and eight more touchdowns and was named a first team All-American by the American Football Coaches Association.

Named into the Male High School Hall of Fame, Green signed as an undrafted free agent and went on to play four seasons in Indianapolis from 2000-03.
