Each year since 2006, MaxPreps has recognized outstanding performers in high school football. America's source for high school sports continues the tradition to close out the 2022 season by naming the top player in each state. Selections are based on team success and individual excellence in addition to local and state accolades.

Dutch Fork (Irmo) is the 2022 MaxPreps South Carolina High School Football Player of the Year. The 5-foot-11, 185 senior running back helped the Silver Foxes go 14-1 and capture the Class AAAAA state championship, the program's sixth in the past seven seasons.

Against Fort Dorchester in the state championship game, Green ran 23 times for 241 yards and caught three passes for 49 yards while finding the end zone four times in a 47-10 win.
In his four-year Dutch Fork career, Green totaled 4,608 rushing yards and 78 touchdowns. He added over 1,200 yards with 11 touchdowns as a receiver.
