The soon-to-be former Georgia defensive back was a highly touted prospect out of high school.
Green was a 5-star corner in the 2021 class. He hails from Covington (Ga.) Newton. The 247Sports Composite ranked him as the No. 4 CB and No. 8 prospect from the state of Georgia.
He received SEC offers from Alabama, Tennessee, Arkansas, Kentucky, LSU, Missouri, South Carolina, and Ole Miss.
It’s worth noting that current Oregon coach Dan Lanning recruited Green. Lanning was the defensive coordinator in Athens from 2019-2021.
