EDGE rusher from USC Trojans committed to UK

[gamecockcat]

3 Years of eligibility remaining, 6'-1", 255 lbs. Luck says he has power and high effort output, top 500 recruit out of HS. We need all the edge guys we can get so, perhaps, one of them can put pressure on the QB. Played more this past season as it wore on and put some stats on the board.

Welcome to BBN!

A little short for that position in a 3-4 defense, but if he can get to the QB, who cares!!!

We need players that can put pressure on the QB, because the kids we have brought in lately haven’t been able to do it!! Would say that’s why they all left.

Hope this kid can help shore up that position.

Nice quickness tho undersized. Film reminds me of Boogie Watson.

I like his recruiting profile but wonder how many bad habits he learned playing for a Lincoln Riley defense? Riley’s teams play little to no defense.

Picked up a LB from Marshall also

If kids are 5* and not playing there are reasons. This type of recruiting gets you 4-8 or worse. We need a dynamic coach who will go get game changers.

"Greene appeared in all 12 games this season for USC after taking a redshirt in 2023 as a freshman. He totaled 15 tackles, including three tackles for loss and a sack. Greene turned in one of his biggest games against Rutgers. That night, he had three tackles, two for loss, and a sack to lead USC to the victory." (from KSR)

This does not seem like a player who is an upgrade on the ones we currently have?

He was a redshirt freshman, he’s still developing.

Fearbry would be more productive but probably not Matthews. Greene's pretty quick but lack of height is a concern. Doesn't look like an upgrade.

Fearbry has 1 tackle for loss. Greene has already out produced him

I don't think I've ever seen a 6-1/255 lb. JACK before. This guy seems like a tweener that is too small to play end and lacks the explosiveness to play JACK. I'm just not sure what position we're gonna plug him in at. He seems like a decent player but would probably be better suited to playing SDE on a small ball 4-3 defensive line like we saw for so many years in the Big 12.
