Former Washington State center Brian Greene has announced his transfer commitment to Michigan State. Greene tweeted his announcement on Monday afternoon.

Greene comes to Michigan State with one final season of eligibility. He began his career at Washington State in 2017 as a preferred walk-on, and ended up taking a redshirt season. In 2018, he played in Washington State’s final five games, spending time both at center and on special teams. He was put on scholarship after the season.

During the 2019 season, Greene played in 13 games, mostly on special teams. He also played a big role on special teams on field goal and point after attempts. During the 2020 season, Greene was named as an All-Pac-12 Conference honorable mention. He played in each of Washington State’s four games during the COVID-19 shortened season.

This past season, Greene was named to the Rimington Trophy Watch List as the top center in college football.

“The past few years in Pullman have been some of the best years in my life,” he said. “I’ve had the privilege of being a part of some of the best years in Cougar football history. To my teammates past and present we’ve been through an indescribable amount of adversity, overcoming those obstacles with you guys and growing as close as we became will forever be something I’m proud of and cherish for the rest of my life.

“To my coaches, I’d like to thank all of you for playing a role in shaping myself as a player and as a man. The many life lessons I’ve received will stay with me forever. I will always be proud of my time in Pullman and being a graduate of WSU.

“I’ve decided to do what’s best for me and to enter the transfer portal to find a new home for my last year of eligibility.”
