Add the name Mike Green to the 2025 NFL Draft list. The Marshall pass rusher officially announced his intention to enter the draft on Friday.
Green leaves the Thundering Herd with two remaining years of eligibility. The 6-4, 248-pound redshirt sophomore led the nation in sacks in 2024 with 17, part of his 22.5 tackles for loss in his third season at Marshall. That TFL tally also led the FBS.
Questions about his lack of size and relative level of competition will need to be answered, but Green has undeniable burst off the line and excellent balance through contact in bending the edge around the outside. Most projections value Green somewhere between No. 25 and No. 50 overall, but that was before he officially declared.
