LSU landed a lot of talented players in the 2024 cycle, but not many have the chance to be as impactful a player as tight end [autotag]Trey’Dez Green[/autotag].
One of the best overall signees in the class for the Tigers, Green ranks as the No. 31 player nationally in On3’s industry rankings and the No. 1 tight end in the nation.
In On3’s own rankings, he isn’t far behind. He ranks 32nd overall, though he ranks as the No. 2 tight end in the class behind Alabama signee Caleb Odom, who sits just two spots higher in the overall rankings.
Here’s the overall scouting breakdown on Green, who stands at 6-foot-6.5 and 230 pounds.
“High flying tight end prospect who plays above the rim on the football field as well as the basketball court. Highly rated basketball player who has serious bounce on the hardwood. 50-50 balls are closer to 70-30 for him with his ability to high point the football. Has rare body control and balance for someone his age with his size. Will have some growing pains as a blocker, but his ability to move and go up and get the football with his size is rare for the position. Arguably the top pass-catching mismatch in the 2024 cycle.”
As On3 notes, Green also demonstrates his athletic ability as a high school basketball player.
The Tigers have seen a lot of success from tight end [autotag]Mason Taylor[/autotag] under coach [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag], and Green has the potential to be the next great player at the position for the Tigers.
