Kedrick Green is a standout presence in the Howard secondary who has developed into one of the top HBCU prospects in the country. The 2025 First Team All-MEAC selection was among the conference’s most productive defensive backs, highlighted by a 12-tackle, interception performance against North Carolina Central that earned him MEAC Player of the Week honors. Green’s physical style, steady production and playmaking ability have made him a key figure on the Bison defense and a highly regarded prospect heading into the 2026 season.
Green is a physical, instinctive safety who plays with speed and confidence across the field. He is particularly effective against the run, showing the ability to close quickly and finish as an open-field tackler, while his range and awareness in the post allow him to provide support as the secondary’s last line of defense. A proven special teams contributor, Green also brings value through his willingness to embrace multiple responsibilities, highlighted by a blocked kick in 2025. His leadership extends beyond the field, including a recent appearance on Capitol Hill to speak on the Protect College Sports Act. With his combination of leadership, range, tackling ability and instincts, Green has the skill set to be one of the premier safeties in HBCU football while also attracting attention from NFL scouts.
