Marshall edge rusher Mike Green, a top prospect in the 2025 NFL Draft, spoke out about the circumstances of his departure from the Virginia football team in 2022. Green denied allegations of sexual assault that led to his suspension from Virginia before transferring to Marshall, where he excelled with 17 sacks in the 2024 season. Despite the murky details surrounding his exit from Virginia, Green, the No. 17 prospect according to NFL.com, confidently addressed the accusations during the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.
In a press conference at the combine, Green stated that he had been accused of sexual assault twice, once in high school and once in college, with the latter being an anonymous report. The University of Virginia declined to comment on the matter. Green’s performance at the Reese’s Senior Bowl further solidified his status as a top draft pick, with NFL analyst Daniel Jeremiah projecting him to be selected in the top 10.
Despite the allegations, Green remains confident that his draft stock will not be affected and expressed his readiness to discuss the matter with NFL teams. He emphasized that he has been truthful throughout the process and that his rising draft status should speak for itself. Green is focused on the upcoming draft and is determined to prove himself on and off the field.
