Green remains happy with visit, commitment to Bulldogs

"The visit was great as usual," Green tells Cowbell Corner. "It’s always a good vibe whenever I’m in Starkvegas."

Despite last year's 2-10 season, Lebby has continued to recruit well and reconstruct an atmostphere that feels like home for players across the country.

"I think that the coaching staff is great," Green said. "Coach Lebby, first-year offensive line coach Phil Loadholt, offensive line assistant Alex Jackson, tight ends coach Jon Cooper and the rest of the staff do a great job of coaching the guys hard but loving on them at the same time. It’s a family oriented atmosphere and I always feel at home when I’m there."

"Overall I like everything about Mississippi State," Green said. "And from what I saw at the spring game the program is definitely headed in the right direction."

Green's 4-star status comes from Rivals and is slotted at No. 24 among interior lineman and No. 64 overall player in the state of Florida. He has over a dozen FBS offers including Boston College, Florida, Maryland, Memphis, UCF, Tulane, Miami, West Virginia and USF.
