West Virginia coach
Neal Brown believes the camp will be beneficial to Greene, who is battling redshirt freshman
Nicco Marchiol for the starting quarterback job this fall.
"He's going to be down there around some of the top quarterbacks in the country, as well as Peyton and Eli," Brown said. "Then he gets to do those competitions and when he does those people are going to be like 'whoa' because he can throw it with the best of them. That ball is going to come out tight."
West Virginia opens the 2023 season at Penn State on Saturday, Sept. 2, at Beaver Stadium. The Mountaineers' home opener is against Duquesne on Saturday, Sept. 9.
The Backyard Brawl against Pitt will be played on Saturday, Sept. 16, at Milan Puskar Stadium and will kick off at 7:30 p.m. and will be televised nationally on ABC.
