Draws early praise in spring ball Greene is standing out in spring ball for the Hokies, per 247Sports.com.

Impact Greene has steadily improved each of his three seasons in Blacksburg, and in 2025, he posted a career year, reeling in 31 catches for 516 yards and three touchdowns. The wideout missed the final game of the season against Virginia but appears to be full go once again, and he should be poised for his biggest season yet this coming fall.

Game-time call Saturday Greene (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for Saturday's game against Virginia.

Impact Greene was initially listed as questionable for this game, meaning a decision on his status will likely be made closer to the 7 p.m. ET kickoff. Greene has 31 catches for 516 yards and three TDs in 2025, so not having him would be a huge blow for the Hokies.

Questionable to play Sunday Greene (undisclosed) is questionable for Saturday's game at Virginia.

Impact Greene will probably be a game-time call for this contest, and given how depleted the Hokies will be in the backfield, they certainly need Greene to be as available as he can be. Greene has racked up 31 catches for 516 yards and three scores this season.

On the year, Greene has caught 26 of 58 targets for 421 yards.

Scores in Week 4 Greene hauled in 4 of 5 targets for 52 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 38-6 victory against Wofford.

Massive target share in Week 1 Greene notched five receptions (on 10 targets) for 71 yards during Sunday's 24-11 loss versus South Carolina.

Impact Greene was targeted on 11 of Kyron Drones' 35 pass attempts in Virginia Tech's season opener. While he caught fewer than 50 percent of the passes that came his way, Greene led the team in receptions and ranked second in receiving yards against a stout South Carolina defense. He looks to be the clear top option for the Hokies, and managed to put together a strong stat line despite an overall rough offensive game.

Slated to lead receiver corps Greene is slated to lead Virginia Tech's receiver corps, Bryan Manning of SB Nation reports.

Impact The development comes months after Virginia Tech's 2025 bowl game, which saw Greene log six receptions for 115 yards. Being the Hokies' top wideout means he should surpass his career-high 2024 outputs of 268 receiving yards and three all-purpose touchdowns.

Goes off in bowl game Greene totaled six catches for 115 yards and two carries for three yards during Friday's 24-10 loss against Minnesota in the Duke's Mayo Bowl.

Impact Greene hadn't totaled more than three catches in a game all season, but opt-outs from Da'Quan Felton and Jaylin Lane opened the door for additional opportunities in the bowl game. Greene took advantage of his extra looks and finished the day with a career-best showing, ending the 2024 season with 19 catches for 268 yards and a pair of touchdowns while adding nine carries for another 66 yards and a score. He may be aligned for a more prominent role in the Hokies' receiving corps in 2025.

Scores second TD of 2024 Greene gathered in 2 of 8 targets for 19 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 24-14 loss to Clemson.

Impact Greene's touchdown was his second of what's been a quiet, 10-catch, 177-yard season for the sophomore wideout. His eight targets, however, were easily a season high. Time will soon tell if that was an outlier, or if Greene will emerge as one of the Hokies' top young receivers as the season winds down.

Gets involved vs. 'Canes Greene compiled three receptions (on four targets) for 33 yards and one touchdown during Friday's 38-34 defeat versus Miami (FL).

Impact Greene did next to nothing through four weeks, but then saw four targets out of nowhere against Miami. He turned that into his first career touchdown along with 33 yards. It remains to be seen if this was just a flash in the pan from the true sophomore, but regardless, this is the kind of performance that tends to award more snaps moving forward.
