Expert Analysis
Michael Huntley | Prep Redzone Scout
Green played tackle at Victor Valley last season but guard may be his meal ticket at the college level. He does a good job gaining leverage on defenders and is one of the best linemen in the area at defending power pass rushers. Green mirrors well in pass protection and can recover well when he gets beaten initially. He has offers from Louisville, Ole Miss and Sacramento State among others.

Green is a powerful and violent OL prospect with a massive frame at 6’2” 300 lbs. Played well at OT as a freshman for Victor Valley but projects to slide into the interior as he works his way up. He brings a strong, physical presence as a blocker. He plays with a low center of gravity and good leverage, allowing him to anchor against power rushers and control defenders at the POA. Active hands with good placement to consistently gain positional leverage and drive defenders off the ball in the run games. Shows good footwork and balance in pass protection, with the ability to mirror and recover against quicker rushers. High motor and finishes blocks with an edge accelerating his feet through contact. Recruitment has skyrocketed in the last few weeks with six D1 offers coming.
6 Offers: Louisville, Syracuse, Ole Miss, Sacramento State, USF, UNLV
