Trey'Dez Green

Dean Kindig

2-17 (8.5) 1 TD vs Clemson. Joe Brady built the modern LSU offensive template that relies on athletic, pass-catching tight ends. Green is a dynamic hybrid threat who inherited that exact spatial role in the modern Tigers offense. Size, strength, and wingspan, jump ball ability and aggression, creates almost unfair mismatches with defenders in the passing game. Expected to thrive even more in the Lane Kiffin offense in 2026.. Toscano: "Trey'Dez Green looks like Oronde Gadsden II on steroids as a raw project, but needs another year to actually fill out his frame and technically develop after finally quitting basketball. ". Listed as a tight end but more than capable of lining up in the slot or split out as a wide receiver. Great hands and speed. Has proven to be very difficult to tackle and often requires more than 1 defender to bring him down. 176 of his 433 receiving yards came after the catch in 2025 and for his career, he has 230 yards after the catch. Named second-team All-SEC in 2025 after catching 33 passes for 433 yards and a team-best 7 TDs. Has already established himself as the LSU career record holder for receiving TDs by a tight end with 11. Set the LSU single-season TD reception record for a tight end in 2025 with 7.
