Green, who announced his entry into the transfer portal on Dec. 6, leaves Athens after 3 seasons with the Bulldogs. He has 2 remaining seasons of eligibility after taking a redshirt in 2021. 247Sports rated Green a 4-star transfer and the No. 1 cornerback in the portal.
Green played in 26 games over 3 seasons, contributing as a reserve. This past season, Green recorded 7 total tackles in 13 games, including a half TFL, the first of his career. He logged 12 total tackles and 2 pass breakups in his UGA career.
Out of Newton High School in Covington, Georgia, Green was one of the most sought-after prospects in the Class of 2021. Rated 4-stars, the No. 4 cornerback and No. 72 recruit overall on the 247Sports Composite, Green picked up 32 scholarship offers in his initial recruitment.
