He is ranked No. 373 nationally by the 247Sports Composite and as the No. 32 safety and No. 40 player in Georgia.

Green, who's 6-foot-2, 195 pounds, is MSU's fourth four-star in the 2027 recruiting class joining running backs Yoshawn Hudson and Christian Alexander and defensive lineman Jaden Bayonne.

Mississippi State's recruiting class was ranked No. 52 nationally and last in the SEC before Green's commitment.

Green recorded 56 tackles last season with two interceptions.

The Bulldogs have three other safeties in the class, both of whom are three-stars: Trae'kerrion Collins, Hudson Fuqua and Ke'Vontae Pitts.
