Hula Bowl Spotlight Interview: Mike Greene, DT, James Madison University | Presented by Five Guys

What are you hoping to show scouts at the 2022 Hula Bowl?

My versatility and how dominant I can be all across the whole defensive line. I can stop the run on first and second down and have the quickness to rush the passer on third down. I’m an all-around defensive lineman that loves causing disruption.

If you could donate to one cause in the world, what would it be?

I really can’t choose one thing because I want to help people in different ways. But it would have to be helping people in need of food and clothes or helping people with mental/social disorders.

Tell our readers one thing that the world may not know about you? (Special Talents)

What is the best advice you have ever received?

It’s the work that goes unseen that always pays off. That’s what sets you apart from your teammates and competition.

What is your favorite song to listen to before kickoff?

If you were an animal, what animal would you be?

Overcoming adversity is what defines character, what was the hardest moment in your life to overcome?

I think tearing my ACL and LCL in high school and not really knowing how my football career would turn out was one of the biggest challenges in my life. Took a lot of hard work and dedication and without it I don’t think I would be where I am.

If you could compare your play to one player in the NFL who would it be?

Did you have a favorite player or team in the NFL when you were growing up?

I was kind of a Jets fan growing up because my cousin Damien Woody played for them growing up, but I never really kept up with players when I was young.

If you could have dinner with three people dead or alive, who would it be and why?

Serena Williams, Jay Z, and Barrack Obama. I just feel like at this dinner I can learn in so many ways. Serena is one of the greatest athletes to ever walk this earth so I know she can talk a lot about what it takes to get to that level of greatness. Jay-Z is one of the greatest of all time in the music industry. But why I want him at dinner is because of what he was able to do with his music career and how he became a businessman and a billionaire outside of just making music. And then Barrack Obama, he was the first black president and one of the most iconic black men ever. So I know all these of the 3 people have knowledge to share.
