Green Jr., has been a prospect on the Eagles radar since the summer. The high school junior received his offer from Boston College on August 1 and was in Chestnut Hill for the UNC game on Nov. 23 for a visit.
He is a product of Moore Catholic High School in Staten Island, N.Y., and chose Boston College over Buffalo and Delaware.
Green Jr., is the eighth commitment for Boston College’s 2026 class, joining defensive lineman Mac Fitzgerald, EDGEs Dominic Funke and Mason Leak, offensive linemen Marcelino Atunes, Jr., Brady Bekkenhuis, and Dean Ruksnaitis, quarterback Corin Berry.
Six of the eight prospects are three-stars.
Currently, Boston College ranks No. 16 overall and No. 4 in the ACC in the class of 2026 recruiting rankings with 80.67 points.
