Green is a highly talented interior offensive lineman who plays at Timberland High School in Saint Stephen (SC) and has offers from Oregon, Alabama, Georgia, Oklahoma, Florida, South Carolina, Kentucky, Florida State, Arkansas, Auburn, Virginia Tech, and many others. As time goes on, the 6'4 330 LBS interior offensive lineman will likely get more schools to show more interest with time.

Desmond Green is visiting during the Spring Game alongside fellow four-star offensive lineman Darius Gray.

The Hokies have been doing a really good job recruiting in the class of 2026 and have already gotten a commitment from four star wide receiver Carnell Warren, who decided to commit to the Hokies during the Under Armour All-American Bowl. Let's take a look at what are own Jackson Caudell had to say about Warren's commitment:

"Virginia Tech was trending to land 2026 four-star wide receiver Carnell Warren and during the 2025 Under Armour All-American Game, Warren officially committed to the Hokies over Duke, Wake Forest, and Georgia Tech. Warren becomes the first commitment for Virginia Tech in the 2026 recruiting class and will be a nice building block for Brent Pry and this staff. The Hokies have done a nice job at recruiting the wide receiver position as of late and Warren becomes the latest talented pass catcher to commit to Virginia Tech. According to the 247Sports Composite, Warren is a four-star prospect, the No. 277 player in the country, the No. 44 wide receiver, and the No. 6 player in the state of South Carolina."
