A rollercoaster season went down the history. Now, all eyes are on the steady post-season progress and lingering drama, heading into another breathtaking season. But to understand the gossip or factual reality of the next few months, you can’t miss out on the portal news. Apart from the current catastrophe over the NIL money and the unstable roster smoking a lot of quick inflow and outflow of the players, there are considerable talents in the high school awaiting the brand new start of their collegiate stint with the program of their dream. Desmond Green, hailing from Timberland High School, is making a lot of rounds as one of the premium 2026 recruits.

A lot of names have been swirling over the lore, but it seems the top-tier SEC giant is already outstripping the others.

Desmond Green might choose SEC rival over the other suitors: Here’s why

Kirby Smart and Georgia had a tumultuous turnout this season. They, by any chance, won’t want the same to repeat. Stacy Searels has not only just bothered about his 2025 lineup, he is passionate about making it as better as possible. He is eying the 2026 roster now. They are pretty all in for Green. During a previous visit to Georgia, Searles let him know that they needed him at UG. Green is yet to make up his mind. But the inclination is quite right in the place. He is due a visit to Georgia.

”I mean, he said as much, look, he is one of the most coveted offensive linemen in the country with his size and length. He’s just a massive player at the point of attack absolute people mover. He’s been to Georgia numerous times and had another great visit with the Bulldogs. They are in pole position. He’s got a top 10 so look. These recruitments are fluid but George is doing all the right things with him as well, all right, Steve empty out the notebook what do the people need to know who were some of the biggest names on campus this weekend,” said insider Steve Wiltfong. In case you don’t know, Green has already narrowed down his list to four, including Georgia, Clemson, and South Carolina. With Carolina and Clemson, he has strong ties.

Smart might get an upper hand only if he ticks the simple yet perspective condition list of the prized athlete.

“

I think the main thing that I like the most while camping at Clemson was definitely the environment,” Green told The Clemson Insider.

“At any school, I’ll get a good education,” Green said. “So, I think the main things I’m looking for are who do I have the best relationships with and who can develop me to be the best offensive lineman and best man.” So, where did Green spot a glimpse of what he wants in the book? Well, he is seriously scouting through the schools.

Desmond Green receives a serious push from the Tigers and Gamecocks 

A few weeks back when Green visited Clemson Tigers for the USC rivalry game, he garnered a pretty decent image of the Tigers. Green revealed the Tigers greeted him with the same energy as always. The warmth, the kindness, the generosity they have shown remain special to the Palmetto State’s top offensive line prospect.

He added that coach Shane Beamer and offensive line coach Lonnie Teasley kept poking him to let the truth know that he belongs to the home and that home is South Carolina.

On the other hand, Clemson coach Dabo Swinney is also not stopping. Addressing a recent visit, Green said they kept saying the same thing as well. They said that they got what he needed. They promise him to develop as a better person, a better athlete, and last but not least, will align himself with the lofty NFL dream.

It would be a surprise to unfold where Desmond Green finally lands and shines.

But Georgia and Kirby Smart know how to wow the crowd while recruiting the top dogs of the nation. So, the odds are good, whatsoever.
