Green was named Texas A&M's starting right guard going into his freshman season.[4][5] He started all 13 of the team's games and was named to the Southeastern Conference All-Freshman Team.[6] As a sophomore, Green moved to left guard and started all nine of the Aggies games and was named a first-team All-American by Sporting News and the Football Writers Association of America and was a second-team selection by the Associated Press, the American Football Coaches Association, and the Walter Camp Foundation, tying him with BYU's Brady Christensen for a consensus All-American selection.[7][8] He moved to offensive tackle for the 2021 season.[9]
As a junior, Green received first-team All-America honors from Sporting News,[10] the Associated Press,[11] CBS Sports,[12] and USA Today.[13] He was named a second-team All-American by the Walter Camp Football Foundation,[14] The Athletic,[15] the American Football Coaches Association,[16] and the Football Writers Association of America.[17] He was also a finalist for the Lombardi Award, which was ultimately awarded to Michigan's Aidan Hutchinson.[18]
