Jalen Green attended Heights High School and was rated a 5-star prospect by 247 Sports with a scout's rating of 0.980, going unranked by ESPN.

He recorded only one tackle, no assists, while adding no stops. In coverage Green notched up no pass breakups, no interceptions, and an outstanding QB rating when targetted of .0.
As a sophomore in 2019 he played in 10 games and logged 430 snaps for the Longhorns. He made 24 tackles, 4 assists, and had 7 stops. In coverage he totaled 4 pass breakups, no interceptions, and QB rating when targetted of 71.2.
In 2020 as a junior Green played in 9 games and contributed on 355 snaps. He chalked up 13 tackles, 2 assists, and added 5 stops. In the secondary Green forced no pass breakups, one interception, and gave up QB rating when targetted of 103.2.

He logged 31 tackles, 10 assists, and made 9 stops. In coverage Green had 3 pass breakups, 2 interceptions, and surrendered an outstanding QB rating when targetted of 48.9.

In coverage Green had 5 pass breakups, 2 interceptions, and surrendered a QB rating when targetted of 67.9. He also chalked up 7 total pressures, and no sacks on the season
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Green has good size and is a fluid mover, capable of mirroring quickness underneath
- Transitions well from coverage to close on the ball. Strong hands, quick reactions for the interceptions.
- Has the quick, agile feet and fluid hips to mirror quickness and change direction underneath. But he’s at his best facing the action.
- Flashes intimidating attitude and will crush tiptoeing receivers across the middle.
- While built more like a cornerback than a safety, Green has the vision, range, hitting ability, and ball skills teams want at free safety in the pass-heavy NFL.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Isn’t great in route recognition when he’s facing the action, is hesitant and susceptible to double moves, and too often gets unnecessarily handsy when playing trail position
- Has very inconsistent tackling technique and too often just throws himself at the lower body of the ballcarrier instead of wrapping up.
- Inconsistent getting off of blocks. Can be a step slow to react when a quarterback comes back to his side of the field late in progression.
- Not an explosive player and needs to show better bend and flexibility in his drops - plays too high.
