Green was also considering Penn State and Oregon.

Green, rated as the No. 5 cornerback by the 247Sports player rankings, is another big pickup for Herman's Texas team; they are now on the edge of breaking into the Top 5 of the recruiting rankings over at 247Sports.

Green is the 13th commitment for Texas's 2018 class, and he is their third-highest rated commit behind five-star B.J. Foster and four-star Caden Sterns.
