Missouri Tigers offensive lineman Cayden Green has been named a second-team AP All-American. This is his first year receiving the honor and he was the only Tiger named to any of the teams.

This is Green's second year with the team as he enters his junior season, racking up plenty of preseason attention to go along with it. Green is expected to play either left tackle or left guard for Missouri this season.

Green was also recently named a captain for the Missouri offense, alongside senior center Connor Tollison, junior quarterback Sam Horn and senior quarterback Beau Pribula.

The Lee Summit, Missouri, native started his career with the Oklahoma Sooners, ranked as a four-star recruit out of high school. He transferred to Missouri at the end of his freshman season.
