2025 3-star IOL Raphael Greene announces his top five schools

Cincinnati Winston Woods 2025 offensive lineman Raphael Greene has over a dozen offers. The 6-foot-6, 320-pound junior is not shutting any schools out moving forward, but he has named Kentucky, Louisville, Pittsburgh, Purdue and West Virginia as his five schools.

He has visited Kentucky over half a dozen times. Louisville and Pittsburgh have had him on campus twice and Greene has made one stop at Purdue. West Virginia is the only school in his top five that he has yet to visit.

All five have established relationships.

“I talk to coaches from these schools a lot,” Greene told On3. “They have all sent coaches to my school and they have done a good job checking up, keeping in touch and communicating with me.

“Purdue sent their whole staff to my school. That meant a lot. West Virginia always stops by when they can. All five schools do that and that interest is why they are my top five schools.”

More visits coming in 2024 for Greene

Greene has not scheduled his next visit, but he is likely to take a visit or two in January. The only game he was able to make it to this season was in Lexington when Kentucky hosted Florida.

After the dead period in February, Greene will get out, lock in his official visits and push toward a summer decision.

“I am getting closer. I am not too far now from the end of my recruitment. It will be before my senior season. I will attend a couple of camps, take my official visits, then pick the right school.

“Outside of the relationships, my decision will be based on development. I want to be developed. The goal for every player is to get to the next, next level – the NFL. All schools on my list are great programs with great coaches, so development will be a big factor.”

Other schools Greene has his eye on that have yet to offer are Illinois, Michigan, Michigan State and Ohio State.
