Tulsa’s Senior cornerback Allie Greene IV stands out when breaking down film

By. Justin Kelm

The Tulsa Golden Hurricane took the national stage yesterday and for Senior Cornerback Allie Greene IV the world got to know his name. For myself, Greene IV is a known name. As a University of Houston alum, I have seen my fair share of Tulsa. Greene IV went head to head against a talented Oklahoma State team from the Big 12. A lot of talent can be found throughout the country and the American Athletic Conference where Tulsa plays is covered with talent. Considered a non Power 5 Conference, Oklahoma State was highly favored. As always, Tulsa didn’t back down. The mantra in the entire AAC is to never give up. Greene IV burst onto the scene with Tulsa in 2017. Coming from the state that considers football almost a religion in Texas, Greene IV produced immediately. In his last game he snagged his first interception. He will be a name to watch for in 2020.
