Draft Profile: Bio
After transferring from Virginia, Green made an immediate impact at Marshall in 2023 as a redshirt freshman. The 6-4, 250-pound edge defender recorded 43 tackles, 9.0 tackles for loss, and 4.5 sacks with six QB hurries. His production peaked late in the season, including a standout performance against Arkansas State with four tackles, 2.0 TFLs and a sack to help secure bowl eligibility.The Williamsburg native brings an impressive athletic background to the field. At Lafayette High School, Green excelled in both football and wrestling, finishing third in the state tournament at 220 pounds. His physical testing numbers include a 4.57 40-yard dash, 405-pound bench press, and 525-pound squat. He garnered offers from 25 schools including Virginia Tech, Kentucky, and Kansas State.
Green's consistent late-season surge included at least a half-tackle for loss in each of his final five games. His special teams experience spans multiple units including kick coverage, punt return, and field goal block teams. Prior to Marshall, he spent time at Virginia where he saw limited action before transferring.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Twitched-up edge rusher with explosive get-off and natural bend through contact to flatten to the quarterback around the arc
- Advanced pass rush arsenal featuring violent hand swipes, swim moves, and counter spin moves executed with plus coordination
- Heavy hands and natural leverage from wrestling background show up in stack-and-shed ability against tight ends and tackles
- Fluid mover in space with closing burst and lateral range to track down plays from the backside and mirror in coverage
- Four-phase special teams contributor with proven production in kick coverage and field goal block units
- Shows snap anticipation and initial quickness to stress tackles vertically before working counter moves inside
- Flashes shock in his hands when long-arming tackles, creating separation to work edges in pass rush
- Natural hip flexibility and ankle mobility to turn tight corners and redirect in space
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Lacks ideal bulk and anchor strength to consistently set a hard edge against NFL offensive tackles in the run game
- Limited exposure against top competition raises questions about ability to win consistently at next level
- Frame gets overwhelmed at point of attack against double teams and down blocks from bigger offensive linemen
- Break-down ability in space needs refinement - arrives hot and fails to come to balance as tackler
- Motor and effort level waver when plays go away from him in run game
Scouting Report: Summary
A scheme-specific edge rusher who wins with twitch, bend and refined hand usage off the edge. Displays natural pass rush traits with explosive first step, ankle flexion, and coordinated counter moves. Core special teams background provides day one contribution while developing.Best suited as a standup outside linebacker in an attacking 3-4 front that allows him to play in space and rush from a two-point stance. Limited exposure against top competition and anchor concerns suggest early career role as a designated pass rusher while adding functional strength.
Core special teams value and natural rush skills provide immediate roster utility in sub packages. Developmental ceiling will depend on adding mass and power to become a reliable edge setter against the run.
