NFL Prospect Mike Green Addresses Sexual Assault Allegations and Virginia Departure

The Marshall edge rusher denies any wrongdoing after revealing details about accusations from high school and college that led to his transfer.

Mike Green, a top NFL draft prospect, disclosed at the NFL Combine that he has faced two sexual assault accusations, one in high school and one in college, both of which he denies.
Green stated that he was suspended from the University of Virginia in 2022 due to an anonymous accusation, prompting his transfer to Marshall University.
The University of Virginia and its head coach, Tony Elliott, have not commented on the circumstances of Green's departure.
Green excelled at Marshall, leading college football with 17 sacks in the 2024 season and earning Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year honors.
Despite the allegations, Green remains confident they will not impact his draft stock, with analysts projecting him as a potential top-10 pick in the upcoming NFL Draft.
