It's the first such honor for Green, a junior from Humble, Texas, who on Saturday night anchored an offensive attack that amassed 303 rushing yards and 292 passing yards.

The Aggies were one of only two teams to accumulate at least 290 yards through the air and on the ground in a game this season.

Green is the lone returning starter on the offensive line from last season, and switched from guard, where he was an All-American last season, to tackle for 2021. He appears to be picking up at tackle where he left off at guard, as he helped pave the way for 595 total yards of offense, the fourth-best in the country for the opening weekend of the season.
