Does Texas Have a Legit Shot to Flip Oregon QB Commit Seth Green?

Seth Green is a quarterback many programs are high on, and when the 4-star prospect ended his recruiting process with a commitment to Oregon back in October, he was predicted to be the next in line of great Ducks signal-callers.

With a new offer from Texas, however, Green has some Oregon fans wondering if he'll stay committed. Texas fans are wondering the same thing—only they're in favor of a flip before national signing day in February 2016.

Green, the top-ranked player from the state of Minnesota and the nation's No. 4 dual-threat quarterback, has a lot to think about with his recruiting. Before committing to the Ducks, Green made a few unofficial visits and camped at a few schools. He camped at Texas in June and had been high on the Longhorns since.

Oregon in the past has been on the positive end of a player flipping, but Texas is one of the teams that has recently won a recruiting battle against the Ducks. The Longhorns flipped 3-star safety PJ Locke on national signing day. Locke had been committed to Oregon since July 1.

If there's anyone who has shown they can recruit out of state, it's Texas head coach Charlie Strong. He has done well with the state of Florida, and he and quarterbacks coach Shawn Watson landed 4-star Maryland stud Kai Locksley before signing day. They have been busy looking for top-notch talent of the future at the position.

Green told Steve Wiltfong of 247Sports that while Oregon was "still No. 1," a Texas offer "really meant a lot." Green also said that he'd consider looking more into his new offer.

You can believe that Oregon head coach Mark Helfrich and quarterbacks coach Scott Frost won't go down without a fight. Green, at 6'3" and 210 pounds, is a physically impressive athlete who catches the attention of coaches at first glance. He's just as comfortable under center as he is in the shotgun, and he possesses a nice arm. Green also is tough to bring down in running situations.

Oregon is hoping everything that won Green over in October will continue to be that important X-factor throughout his recruiting process. In October, Green told Josh Helmholdt of Rivals.com that Oregon felt like home, and he was a fan of everything in and apart from football there. Green added that he wanted to be a solid player-recruiter for Helfrich and the Ducks coaching staff.

A player like Green can be a game-changer in recruiting for both Oregon and Texas. From an offensive standpoint, wide receivers want to play with a reliable quarterback, and offensive linemen want to block for a leader. Green has the measurables and intangibles to be an impact player at the college level.

But will it be at Oregon? Or can Texas flip Minnesota's top-ranked player?
