Green has been a reserve player who appeared in games this seaosn against Vanderbilt, UAB and Charleston Southern, per his online bio, making three tackles.

While Green is not a front-line player, the Bulldogs are thin in the secondary with projected starting defensive backs Jalen Kimber and Tykee Smith having already suffered season-ending injuries.
