Green has just a couple other Power-5 offers, but it shouldn't be long before more programs come calling. He's a native of Dayton, Ohio who has already had a winding path: he started at Grambling State in 2021 but didn't play football, then joined the team at Tennessee State last Fall, but is getting his first college action as a redshirt freshman in junior college this Fall. He has three years to play three at his next stop. He's taken one official visit (to Houston in mid-September) and will enroll early, so the Hokies will need to get him on campus if they're to reel him in.

Green is a pretty mobile offensive lineman, and he shows good power (remember: he's doing this against college-aged guys, not overmatched high schoolers) when he arrives at the point of attack. He has smooth post-kick footwork without too much noise in his motion. The primary weakness in his game at this stage is a somewhat consistent problem identifying his target when he's on the move - he pulls across the line or works to the second level, and takes a beat to identify the work, rather than instinctively knowing who to go hit. He also tends to let his hands get on the outside of defenders' pads, which can be a giveaway for officials to call holding. However, his size and athletic ability are very good, and the rough edges of his game can be smoothed out.
