Kenyon Green has a new team. The standout Texas A&M offensive lineman was taken by the Houston Texans with the No. 15 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft’s first round.

A season-long captain for the Aggies in 2021, Green played 4 different offensive line positions, starting all 12 games. Green provided key blocks up front in pass protection and opening up holes for Texas A&M ball-carriers.

Green was a 3-time SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week in 2021. The first time was for Texas A&M’s season-opening win over Kent State when the Aggies recorded 595 yards of total offense. He was honored again for helping Texas A&M rush for 283 yards against Missouri. The conference recognized Green a third time after the Aggies posted 477 yards of total offense in a win over South Carolina.

Green was a 3-year standout for Jimbo Fisher’s program. He made the SEC’s All-Freshman Team in 2019. Green received All-America First Team recognition in 2020 (Sporting News, FWAA) and ‘21 (AP, Sporting News). He was also named All-SEC First Team for 2021.

An Atascocita High School product out of Humble, Texas, Green was a 5-star recruit on the 247Sports Composite in the class of 2019. He chose Texas A&M over 22 other scholarship offers.
