4. Scouting & Transfer Notes
Background Profile
Green entered the college landscape as a highly celebrated consensus four-star recruit and a top-100 national prospect out of Lee’s Summit North High School in Missouri. He initially committed to Oklahoma, working his way into a starting left guard role as a true freshman for the Sooners in 2023. Desiring a return closer to home, Green commanded massive transfer portal headlines by moving to Missouri ahead of the 2024 season, turning in an immediate high-level performance along the interior.
Just two weeks before the 2025 season kicked off, Green was kicked outside to left tackle—a position switch he handled seamlessly. Despite missing two games due to an injury, he started 11 games on the blind side, pacing an offensive line that cleared paths for the nation’s No. 8 rushing attack and earning First Team All-SEC recognition from the Associated Press. In January 2026, Green officially announced his intention to return to Columbia for his senior season, solidifying his status as a premier draft-eligible bookend.
Key Strengths
- Premium Positional Versatility: Possesses extensive, high-level structural starting experience at both left guard (Oklahoma/Missouri) and left tackle (Missouri), presenting highly coveted multi-role utility for pro front offices.
- Elite Pass-Blocking Demeanor: An exceptionally polished pass protector who surrendered just 2 sacks and a microscopic 3 hurries over 749 blindside snaps in 2025, anchoring an elite 89.1 PFF pass-blocking metric.
- Imposing Core Frame and Anchor: Features a dense, thick-set 6’5″, 324-pound outline that allows him to anchor instantly against heavy interior bull rushes and stonewall boundary edge crashers.
- Displacing Power in the Run Game: Displays quick, heavy hands at initial contact, operating with excellent lower-body torque to seal off lanes or collapse defensive lines on down blocks.
Developmental Focus
While Green handled his late emergency kick-out to left tackle beautifully, NFL front offices are still split on whether his ultimate long-term ceiling projects at tackle or kicked back inside to guard. To maximize his top-tier evaluation status, pro scouts will be tracking his functional lateral mirror depth against true speed-to-power variations in the SEC, ensuring he maintains disciplined pad height and technical hand placement to avoid isolating his outside shoulder against flexible speed rushers.
