Emporia State football coach Garin Higgins shared an official statement on the university's website,
"It's a terrible day for Emporia State football and just a devastating loss for the Green family."
"Brexten was a great teammate who cared so much about this football program. It showed in his competitive spirit, his work ethic and his willingness to be there for his teammates."
"He will always be a part of our Hornet football family."
"Green was set to begin his second year at Emporia State after red-shirting last season. He was a 5-10, 190 pound receiver from Cashion HS in Cashion, Okla. "
"He was an All-State selection by the Oklahoma Coaches Association for the 2020 Oklahoma Class A State Champion Wildcats. He was the District A-3 Player of the Year as a senior after gaining 1,720 receiving yards, 409 rushing yards and scoring 27 total touchdowns."
"He was committed to being the best player he could be and would have developed into a great player for us because of those characteristics. He was a typical ESU player that lived the core bricks of our program and we will miss him dearly,"
"Our thoughts and prayers go out to his parents Brett and LaMae and the entire family."
