Early life and high school[]
Green grew up in Humble, Texas and attended Atascocita High School.[1] Green was rated a five-star recruit and originally committed to play college football at LSU during his sophomore year before decommitting as a junior.[2] He ultimately chose to enroll at Texas A&M.[3]
College career[]
Green was named Texas A&M's starting right guard going into his freshman season.[4][5] He started all 13 of the team's games and was named to the Southeastern Conference All-Freshman Team.[6] As a sophomore, Green moved to left guard and started all nine of the Aggies games and was named a first team All-American by Sporting News and the Football Writers Association of America and was a second team selection by the Associated Press, the American Football Coaches Association, and the Walter Camp Foundation, tying him with BYU's Brady Christensen for a consensus All-American selection.[7][8] He moved to offensive tackle for the 2021 season.[9]
As a junior, Green received first team All-America honors from Sporting News,[10] the Associated Press,[11] CBS Sports,[12] and USA Today.[13] He was named a second team All-American by the Walter Camp Football Foundation,[14] The Athletic,[15] the American Football Coaches Association,[16] and the Football Writers Association of America.[17] He was also a finalist for the Lombardi Award, which was ultimately awarded to Michigan's Aidan Hutchinson.[18]
Green decided to forgo his final year of eligibility to enter the 2022 NFL Draft.[19]
