LSU’s depth at wide receiver is being tested. [autotag]Chris Hilton Jr.[/autotag] is yet to return from injury and freshman [autotag]Kyle Parker[/autotag] is out for the year. On top of that, [autotag]CJ Daniels[/autotag] missed the Ole Miss game but is expected to be back this week.
LSU got another scare when [autotag]Kyren Lacy[/autotag] went down for a moment, holding his knee, but he was soon to return.
Still, LSU is looking at options to build out its pass-catching depth. LSU head coach [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] said five-star freshman tight end [autotag]Trey’Dez Green[/autotag] will see more time at receiver.
LSU wants Green on the field and Kelly said LSU can remove the complexities of the tight end position by putting Green out wide.
“He’s a talented player. We saw him on the touchdown, how easy it is for him to flash his hands and catch the football,” Kelly said, “He just gives us more versatility.”
Green is 6-7 and was a five-star recruit in the 2024 class. He played just three snaps in LSU’s win over Ole Miss but had a 12-yard touchdown to put LSU on the board. On the year, Green has three catches for 22 yards and a score.
The talent is undeniable and as LSU progresses further into the year, more depth is needed. Green can provide that on offense.
