St. Christopher's star will be at the Georgia and Clemson game in Charlotte on Saturday and is planning a couple more visits for later this season.

IN HIS OWN WORDS...
"I'm just trying to get a feel for how Clemson and Georgia use their personnel and see how to use their recruits," Greene said. "The coaches wanted me to to look at how they use their receivers, and see how important they are in their offense, and imagine myself playing in that offense.
"I grew up liking Justyn Ross ever since that Alabama game," he said. "I was cool with players on my official visit to Georgia like Adonai Mitchell. I'm looking forward to see how they do.
"My top six, I'm loving all of them right now but I'm going to get to a couple of games this year," said Greene. "I'll be at the Clemson and Georgia game. I'm going to try to get to a couple of UNC games and some Penn State games. I'm looking forward to it."
On Penn State- "Coach Stubb and coach Franklin, I been talking to them for awhile," he said. "They've been recruiting me really hard since the beginning. I was just talking to coach Stubb the other day."
On North Carolina- "I know that Travis (Shaw) is my guy," Greene said. "I actually met him at the Clemson Cookout and he was at the UNC Cookout. He's a great guy. It was pretty cool talking to him. We (Zach Rice, George Pettaway, and Travis Shaw) are all close. It was definitely fun to see all the buzz around us.
"I'm going to be looking at how they (UNC) use their receivers and their talent," he said. "I talk to coach Galloway all the time. I think UNC was going to come out with the win but you never know."
On his commitment timeframe- "It's still the same right now," said Greene. "Maybe late October. It's either late October or right after my football season ends."
RIVALS' REACTION...
Visits will tell the story of Greene's recruitment from now until he commits. He has a top six of LSU, North Carolina, Penn State, Georgia, Clemson, and Oregon but it seems like Clemson, North Carolina, Penn State, and Georgia are separating themselves from the pack. The two favorites are Clemson and North Carolina. The Tigers were Greene's dream school as a child and the Tar Heels are doing a great job on the recruiting trail in Virginia. Penn State and Georgia could grab some momentum with their play in the early part of the season. Look for Greene to get up to Penn State for a visit for the Auburn game.
