Georgia Bulldogs beat out SEC rival to land 4-star Buford safety

Green, a 5-foot-10.5, 190-pound safety out of Buford, Georgia, is rated as the No. 89 overall prospect in the 2026 class and the No. 13 safety nationally, according to the On3 Industry Rankings.

What really sets Green apart from other defensive backs is his elite speed. He also runs track for Buford and was a key part of their 4x100 relay team that won the 6A state title and made history with a time of 39.81 seconds.

He joins an already impressive group of four-star safeties in the Bulldogs' 2026 class alongside Zech Fort and Jordan Smith.
