per Phil:
Seth Green is on an odyssey, even though he’s never really left home — at least not for long.
Sure, there was the year he spent playing big-time high school football in Texas. And the time he planned to attend Oregon and become immersed in the state’s Nike-generated football utopia.
But his is a Minnesota story. And even inside the state’s borders, there are manifold layers, twists and turns to Green’s journey.
There’s the Seth Green most people know — 4-star prospect turned Wildcat quarterback, reserve wide receiver.
But there’s also Seth Green, community activist. Seth Green, son and big brother. Seth Green, aspiring sales and marketing leader pursuing his Master’s. Seth Green, Woodbury native who has taken his experiences on the peripheries of sport and society and carries them around on the shoulders of his 6-4, 240-pound frame.
“It goes back to … learning about different cultures and different backgrounds,” Green told Saturday Tradition. “And it’s crazy how diverse different parts of the country are — not even with their skin colors and religions and things like that would be on a piece of paper, but when you look at diversity, just everyday norms in different parts of the country is something I feel is a good life experience to have.”

Activist, academic and athlete: The Odyssey of Minnesota's Seth Green
Seth Green is far more than the son of a former Gopher and an NFL hopeful. He's leading the fight for change and justice.
