Highly coveted junior offensive lineman Cayden Green of Lee’s Summit (Mo.) North said he will be taking an unofficial visit to Missouri for the Tigers game against Central Michigan this weekend.

Green, who is 6-foot-5 and 310 pounds, already has more than 25 scholarship offers. Green’s newest offer came from Florida on Thursday. He said since Sept. 1 his phone has been busy with schools reaching out via text message. But Green said he’s taking it all in stride.

“The past few days haven’t been too bad,” Green said. “I got blown up, but we have a plan in place.”

The Gators join Green’s list of earlier offers – Oklahoma, Arkansas, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Kentucky, Liberty, LSU, Miami of Ohio, Michigan, Michigan State, Missouri, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Oklahoma State, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Washington State.

Cayden Green’s top 10

In early August, Green released a top 10 but also said his “recruitment is still open.” The top 10 schools included Iowa, Georgia, Oklahoma, Missouri, Nebraska, Kentucky, Texas A&M, LSU, Michigan and Notre Dame.

Cayden Green is a teammate of Missouri commit Armand Membou. He visited Columbia previously for the Tigers Night at the Zou event in June.

The next visit for Green will be Oklahoma on Sept. 11 and then he hopes to be at Iowa sometime in October. The visit to Oklahoma will be his third unofficial visit of his recruitment.

Green has talked about Oklahoma being his top school in the past. The Sooners made a strong impression on Green at the ChampU BBQ, especially since two of his favorite players – former Sooner tackles Lane Johnson and Trent Williams – were in attendance.

But Green said he’s in no rush to make a decision. He hopes to let the process play out, take all five of his official visits and then make a commitment later on down the road.
