LSU football’s star signee Trey’Dez Green set to play basketball for Tigers

LSU’s five-star tight end will also play basketball for coach Matt McMahon.

LSU basketball announced its official 2024-25 roster on Tuesday afternoon, and with the announcement came the news that five-star LSU tight end [autotag]Trey’Dez Green[/autotag] will take his talents to the court, too.

Green was one of the top recruits in LSU football’s 2024 class. According to the On3 industry rankings, he was a five-star while earning the top ranking at his position.

All four major recruiting services ranked Green as the No. 2 player in Louisiana, just behind his current LSU teammate [autotag]Dominick McKinley[/autotag].

If you’ve seen Green’s football highlights, the fact that he’s a basketball standout too comes as no surprise. He’s listed at 6-7 and 237 pounds and showed some of the best jump ball skills in his class. That’s the type of talent and ability that translates to the basketball court.

Green was a star on the AAU circuit in Louisiana, playing for the Broncos Basketball Club in Zachary, LA. According to On3, Green averaged 27 points and 11 rebounds during his junior basketball campaign.

Green, who wears No. 14 on the football field, will don the No. 8 jersey for the basketball program.

LSU’s tight end room is crowded with the return of [autotag]Mason Taylor[/autotag], but with some development as a blocker, Green could factor into the rotation as soon as this fall.
