Dean Kindig

No. 1-rated guard in the country on Pro Football Focus (minimum 100 snaps played) with an 82.1 mark.. Played in 11 games as a reserve offensive lineman, especially snaps after star G Luke Kandra went down. Helped a Cincinnati offense that ranked sixth in the Big 12 in total offense (420.6) and paved the way for running back Corey Kiner to rush for a second consecutive 1,000-yard season. Cincinnati finished sixth in the Big 12 in total offense. On3: "Impressive looking offensive line prospect who shocks defenders with the power in his hands and buries them with no regard for their well-being. Stands in at 6-foot-4.5, 285 pounds with a 6-foot-8 wingspan and nearly a 10-inch hand. Solid foot speed and twitch off the line of scrimmage. Comfortable in open space. Ran a solid 4.63 shuttle and jumped a 22-inch vertical during the spring camp circuit prior to his senior season. Combination of punch and understanding of leverage is a vicious combo. Threw 128-foot-8 in the discus as a junior. Dominant wrestler throughout his high school career going a combined 26-6 including an undefeated 10-0 record as a junior. Has the chance to walk in and start along the interior offensive line for almost any program in the country and potentially kick out to tackle down the road."

McCrystal: "Green started his career at left guard before shifting to left tackle in 2025. He has thrived in both roles but would likely be in contention to be the first guard off the board in 2027 if he switches back to the interior offensive line.
