In a move that has sent shockwaves through Razorback Nation, Arkansas quarterback Taylen Green made a major announcement today that left fans stunned and head coach Sam Pittman visibly speechless.
Green, who transferred to Arkansas from Boise State and quickly emerged as one of the SEC’s most dynamic dual-threat quarterbacks, took to the podium after practice this afternoon and delivered the unexpected news: he is declaring for the 2025 NFL Draft, foregoing his remaining college eligibility.
“I want to thank Coach Pittman, my teammates, and all of Razorback Nation for believing in me,” Green said, his voice filled with emotion. “This has been one of the hardest decisions of my life, but after prayer, reflection, and conversations with my family, I’ve decided it’s time to take the next step and pursue my dream of playing in the NFL.”
Green’s announcement comes after a breakout season in which he threw for over 3,200 yards and 27 touchdowns while adding 800 yards and 9 scores on the ground, solidifying himself as one of the top quarterback prospects in the country.
Coach Pittman, caught off guard by the timing, took a moment to collect himself before offering support. “Taylen’s a special player, but he’s an even better person,” Pittman said. “I wish we had more time with him, but I’m proud of him. He’s earned this moment.”
Green’s decision leaves a significant void in Arkansas’ quarterback room, but also opens the door for rising stars and incoming recruits to step up. For now, however, the focus remains on celebrating the accomplishments of a player who revitalized the Razorbacks’ offense and captured the hearts of fans across the state.
As for Taylen Green, the NFL spotlight now beckons — and if his time in Fayetteville is any indication, he’s more than ready to rise to the challenge.
