Potential first-round NFL Draft pick Mike Green reveals sexual assault allegations led to transfer

Marshall edge rusher Mike Green, a projected first-round pick in the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft, revealed he was previously the subject of two sexual assault allegations but denied any wrongdoings, according to TMZ.

During a scheduled media availability Wednesday at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis, Green opened up about the previously undisclosed allegations while explaining why he was dismissed from Virginia in 2022 before transferring to Marshall.

Green, who led the NCAA with 17 sacks in 2024, reaffirmed his innocence, adding he had “done nothing wrong,” according to TMZ.

“There’s accusations out there. I’ve never been questioned,” Green said Wednesday, per TMZ. “I’ve never been asked. Nobody ever asked me a question about what happened before I departed from Virginia. It was just accusations that caused me to leave.”

Green also expressed no ill will with how his time at Virginia ended, and even acknowledged he still speaks with Virginia head coach Tony Elliott.

“I held no grudges. I have no grudges against the University of Virginia,” Green said, according to TMZ. “I could have stayed at the university if I wanted to. After I got suspended, I wanted a fresh start. I wanted to go somewhere that I was able to lay down a foundation, and that’s what caused me to enter the transfer portal and go to Marshall.”

This report will be updated.
