Four-star OL Earnest Greene commits to Georgia over Texas and Alabama

Texas misses out on four-star offensive lineman Earnest Greene.

One of Texas’ top offensive line targets Earnest Greene chose to take his talents to Georgia next season over Texas and Alabama.

Greene signed during the early signing period and kept it under wraps before announcing at the All-American Bowl.

247Sports has Greene rated as the No. 2 interior offensive lineman in the nation and a top 50 player overall for the class of 2022.

Despite missing on Greene, Texas still signed one of the top offensive line classes in the nation. The Horns are still in good shape for five-star offensive guard Devon Campbell, who will commit on Feb. 3.

Texas did receive good news from the All-American Bowl as four-star safety Larry Turner-Gooden committed the Longhorns.

Steve Sarkisian and his staff have assembled the No. 5 class in the country. A masterful job of recruiting after a disappointing 5-7 season.

Four-star OL Earnest Greene releases top four schools

Texas makes the cut for elite offensive line prospect Earnest Greene.

Four-star offensive lineman Earnest Greene narrowed his recruitment down to four schools on Friday afternoon. Texas, Georgia, Ohio State and Alabama for the uber-talented prospect.

247Sports has Greene rated as the No. 2 interior offensive lineman in the nation and a top 50 player overall for the class of 2022.

National recruiting analyst for 247Sports Greg Biggins had promising things to say in his scouting report of Greene.

Shows raw power at the point of attack and is a powerful run blocker. Plays with a mean streak and has the right amount of nastiness you love to see in an elite lineman. Plays through the whistle but under control and doesn’t take needless penalties. Can get to the second level and make a block on a linebacker or safety and is equally strong as a pass blocker.

Steve Sarkisian and Kyle Flood have made the Cali. product a very high priority. Greene is the type of player who could make an immediate impact for a Texas offensive line that struggled for much of the 2021 season.

Four-star offensive lineman Earnest Greene announces Texas visit weekend

Earnest Greene announced his official visit to Austin will take place on Oct. 16 for the Oklahoma State game. It will be his third OV.

Having Cole Hutson and Connor Robertson locked down on the interior offensive line is a good start for Kyle Flood. The two committed on the same day and have been important to Texas’ 2022 class already.

Offensive tackle, in particular, has been the position of concern. Some top targets have been missed on and the pool is drying up real quick. To make up for it, the Longhorns may have to keep going after the interior boys.

Earnest Greene may be the top IOL priority remaining on the board outside of Devon Campbell. The four-star out of California is one of the best prospects in the country and has shown interest in Texas.

He announced his official visit to Austin will take place on Oct. 16 for the Oklahoma State game. It will be his third OV, leaving two for later in the calendar.

Texas will have the chance to carry a ton of momentum heading into Greene’s visit. Oct. 9 is the date of the Red River Shootout against Oklahoma in Dallas. A win there will have the program buzzing on the recruiting front.

Show out as a coaching staff in person throughout the weekend and Greene will be heading back West with a lot to think about. Opportunities will be there for Sarkisian in the coming weeks.

On the 247Sports composite, Greene is the No. 2 interior offensive lineman and the No. 4 prospect from the state of California. On the national scale, the four-star ranks as the No. 61 overall player.
