A three-year collegiate coaching veteran who possesses invaluable playing experience as part of the offensive front on two different NCAA FBS squads, Brian Greene begins his first season at Mercer in 2026-27 as the offensive line coach for the Bears. He spent the 2024 and 2025 campaigns in a similar role at NC State.

NC State’s offensive line flourished in two seasons under Greene’s guidance as the unit paved the way for an offensive attack that averaged nearly 150 yards per game on the ground, while also yielding less than two sacks per game. Greene served as the graduate assistant offensive line coach in Raleigh, N.C., for the 2024 campaign, before diving into a role as assistant offensive line coach for the unit in 2025. The Wolfpack churned out 14 wins across that span, while also making a pair of bowl appearances.

Greene kicked off his coaching career in 2023 as the offensive line coach and run game coordinator at Highland (Kan.) Community College. While also overseeing the in-season strength & conditioning program, Greene constructed a unit that helped the Scotties finish with a 6-5 clip – to their first winning record in four seasons – and conclude the campaign with a No. 16 national ranking.

A product of Yakima, Wash., Greene began his career as a non-scholarship player for head coach Mike Leach at Washington State in 2017, and was eventually awarded a scholarship prior to the 2019 campaign. A 2020 All-PAC 12 Conference selection, he was named to the watch list for the 2021 Rimington Trophy which is presented annually to the most outstanding center in NCAA Division I College Football. He played in 30 games across four seasons (2017-21) for the Cougars before closing out his collegiate playing career at Michigan State where he appeared in 10 games.

Greene earned a bachelor’s degree in history from Washington State in 2021, and was awarded a second bachelor’s degree in social science from WSU in 2022.
