LSU’s five-star tight end Trey'Dez Green is generating buzz as the Tigers fall camp gets underway.
Green was the top tight end in the 2023 class and LSU’s second highest-rated recruit, only behind five-star defensive tackle Dominick McKinley .
Head coach Brian Kelly was asked about the impact Green can make as a true freshman and had this to say.
“Well, he certainly looks the part. Controls his body really well, has a great deal of confidence. He doesn’t look out of place in any shape or form from a physical standpoint,” Kelly said.
It’s not just the physical aspect, Kelly also offered praise for the progress Green is making on the mental side of things.
“He’s picked things up very well for a guy who’s not played this game very long, it’s coming to him, I don’t want to say easy, but it has not been a very difficult transition for him and that all bodes well for players who are in their first year.” Kelly said.
Kelly pumped the breaks a little bit, saying it’s too early to tell if Green will play in year one, but said Green’s combo of skills is promising.
LSU’s starting tight end spot is locked up with Mason Taylor and LSU doesn’t run much 12-personnel (two tight ends), but there’s an opportunity for a player to emerge behind Taylor.
“My experience has told me that guys that transition quickly, with his kind of physical attributes, they tend to show real quick,” Kelly said.
