Green already boasts offers from Arkansas, Baylor, Michigan, Oklahoma, Oklahoma, State, and Texas A&M. The Longhorns make it an even dozen FBS offers for Green on the gridiron, but he also excels in track where he took home the state title in the 6A 100M dash and third place in the 20OM.
Green has a personal best of of 10.38 in the 100M, which was recorded during his freshman year, so it is clear that he has elite speed both on and off the field.
The in state Sooners and Cowboys seem to be standing out for Green at this point in the recruitment, so overcoming that proximity advantage for both programs will be something to overcome for out of state programs like Texas.
