Born on February 18th 2006, Trey’Dez Green was a four-star TE prospect in the 2024 recruiting class coming out of Zachary High School in Zachary, Louisiana. Ranked as the second-best TE prospect in the nation, Green has a freaky combination of size and movement skills that give him the ability to be a major mismatch weapon for a premier P4 program. After receiving major D1 offers in football and basketball, the Louisiana native stayed at home and committed to LSU. As a true freshman, Green dressed in 13 games and was used as the Tigers’ second TE in 12 personnel. After Mason Taylor left for the NFL, Green took on a bigger snap-count role, setting the LSU single-season record for TE receiving touchdowns and earning Second-Team All-SEC honors. With a new offensive play caller and QB, Green could take another step and become one of the premier pass-catching prospects in the 2027 draft class.
Athletic Tools
Built more like an NBA wing instead of a Y-TE, Green has an atypically long, lean frame. Unlike other tall TEs, Green has quality open-field fluidity and body control despite his awkward proportions. Green’s background as a collegiate two-sport athlete is apparent in contested catch situations. Like a forward boxing out for a board, Green is great at getting into position and using his length to high-point passes. Not only is it a pass-catching tool, but Green’s length also gives him legitimate potential as a blocker. By having long arms on a roughly 6’7 frame, Green has an advantage when torquing out defenders. Green still needs to improve his blocking fundamentals and play strength, but he is notably more effective performing in-line blocking duties when compared to his sophomore season. Given his physical tools, Green could develop into a usable in-line blocker (imagine current Kyle Pitts after his recent in-line blocking improvement).

Beyond having freakish length, Green has really impressive movement for a TE. Even after gaining weight to improve his blocking, Green still has great positional speed, acceleration, and quickness. With quick transitions upfield and great burst, Green has rare RAC ability for a TE. Even though he looks slim, Green’s physicality and momentum make him extremely difficult to tackle in the open field. As a route runner, Green generates quick separation out of his breaks, but he does have a tendency to round his routes when speed cutting. Due to his frame question marks and high-end receiving flashes, many scouts will view Green as a quality pure move-TE prospect, but I believe his best usage would be as a more traditional in-line TE. If he can develop into a serviceable in-line blocker, then Green will get more consistent easy coverage matchups against LBs, as defenses will need to respect his blocking.

Technicals
Even though he is a developmental prospect who split time between two sports, Green has perfect ball skills. With great tracking and soft hands, Green is comfortable locating the ball mid-air and securing it outside his frame. By having the coordination to adjust to poorly placed balls and a large catch radius, Green is arguably the most reliable target in this draft class. Previously, one of my few gripes about Green’s pass-catching tape was his lack of route-running nuance. As a SO, Green was mainly generating separation by being a better athlete than the DBs/LBs covering him. After adding several false steps as fakes, Green is beginning to grow in his ability to buy a step from defenders by selling different routes. My favorite nuance development is Green’s increased usage of push-offs at the stem. When facing sticky man-coverage DBs that match up with his speed, Green is great at using his hands to physically create space at the top of his route. Despite his growth, Green is not enough of a route runner to consistently beat man coverage if used in WR alignments.

Green’s blocking ability is a big red flag on his prospect profile. Simply put, Green is an awful collegiate blocker. When playing in-line, Green’s tall frame and high pads make it easy for technical defenders to win leverage, then push-pull him out of the gap. Even if he gets proper position, many EDGEs have the play strength to play through Green’s block to make a play. When playing in-space, Green is inconsistent making contact and often blows his blocking assignment that ruins the play. Even if he can do some work in WR-alignments, Green’s current blocking inconsistencies are going to make getting consistent NFL snaps difficult. Luckily for him, Green’s frame gives him more legitimate in-line blocker potential that can help him avoid the usage issues WR/TE tweeners face (Ex. Kincaid, Gadsden, and Okonkwo).

Draft Projection
Trey’dez Green currently has an early day two grade. Green has the upside to be a high-end pass catcher who is a capable in-line blocker, but he needs to develop a lot more before he becomes that player. Green’s biggest barrier from being a true first-round grade is his questionable year-one impact due to his blocking. Green could perform easy assignments on the backside of plays, but his inconsistency and poor play strength is going to make trusting him near the LOS difficult. While many TEs have taken major leaps as blockers in the league, it is not a guaranteed or an easy development. If he is able to make a notable late-season blocking leap or impress as a blocker in the pre-draft process, then Green will likely rise to a day-one grade.

Draft Comparison

A highly athletic move-TE coming out of Penn State, Mike Gesicki was a very similar pass-catching prospect to Trey’Dez Green. With high-end positional length with 34.125 inch arms and a slender, lengthy frame, Gesicki also had the frame that could have let him play a bigger 11 personnel role as a dynamic in-line TE. However, Gesicki failed to make the necessary jump and has stuck around as a flex-slot/move-TE in 12/13 personnel. Green hopefully continues his development as a blocker to get more snaps and easier coverage matchups, but he could always fall back on having a similar career to Gesicki if he fails to continue his existing development.
