Boise State QB transfer Taylen Green commits to Arkansas

Boise State quarterback transfer Taylen Green has committed to Arkansas, he tells On3.

The quarterback spent the weekend in Fayetteville with his family, touring the program and spending time with the Razorbacks coaching staff. Characterized as a “great visit,” Green is making the move to the SEC.

Green received portal interest from LSU, Cal, UCLA, Oregon State, BYU and more than 10 other schools.

“Arkansas felt like the best fit for me,” Green told On3. “From the beginning, Coach [Sam] Pittman and Coach [Bobby] Petrino had a very specific plan for me and that’s why I couldn’t be more excited to be part of this program. Go Hogs!”

Landing the Boise State transfer answers some questions about the quarterback position for Sam Pittman’s program. Reports surfaced last month that KJ Jefferson planned to enter the transfer portal. The quarterback has yet to put his name in college football’s free agency; entering the NFL draft remains an option, too.

But with Taylen Green now headed to Arkansas, the quarterback question is settled. After redshirting his freshman season at Boise State, he had a breakout year in 2022 earning College Football News Freshman All-America Second Team honors and winning the Mountain West Freshman of the Year award after throwing for 2,042 yards and 14 touchdowns along with 586 rushing yards and 10 scores on the ground.

This past season Green split reps at quarterback with freshman Maddux Madsen, posting 1,752 yards in the air, 436 yards on the ground and 20 total touchdowns. he ended the year scoring four total touchdowns and generating 316 total yards of offense, leading Boise State to a Mountain West title. Green was named the Offensive MVP for the game following his performance.

Arkansas finished the year 4-7 and 1-8 in the SEC. Green will look to jumpstart an offense that averaged 326.5 yards per game this year.
