The Early-Season Success of Marshall Quarterback Isaiah Green


Once a principal in Cincinnati, John R. Carlisle has more than two decades of relevant experience in his current role as an education consultant. Former Cincinnati resident John R. (JR) Carlisle earned his undergraduate degree at Marshall University and continues to be a fan of the school's football team.

The Marshall Thundering Herd won its first two games of the 2018 regular season. A major reason for the wins was the play of redshirt freshman quarterback Isaiah Green. 

The native of Fairburn, Georgia, Green was officially named the team's starter only one hour before its opening game of the season, but he impressed in his debut by completing 24 of 37 passes for 272 yards and a pair of touchdowns in his team’s 35-28 win over Miami University of Ohio. In the team's second game of the season, Green added three touchdowns and threw for 278 yards. 

A 6-foot-2, 205-pound graduate of Langston Hughes High School, Green was a three-star recruit who compiled 6,894 passing yards and 667 rushing yards through four seasons of varsity football. He was sought by Arkansas State, East Tennessee State, Appalachian State, and Gardner-Webb but decided to commit to Marshall.
