Trey’Dez Green | TE | LSU | 2027 NFL Draft Prospect
At this point in the fantasy football offseason, most Dynasty players are well aware of just how good this 2025 tight end class is projected to be. The Big Three – Tyler Warren, Colston Loveland, and Harold Fannin Jr. – all have the potential to become major difference makers and early startup picks in Dynasty. Looking further down the list, you’ll find several more names we can be excited about from a Dynasty perspective, with guys like Mason Taylor, Elijah Arroyo, Oronde Gadsden, and Luke Lachey moving on to the NFL ranks. With this, the college football tight end landscape is losing a ton of talent, and there are no remaining guys we can point to and say are locked into a future starting NFL role. Devy tight ends will be dart throws moving forward until someone can establish themselves as a dominant prospect in 2025. While I’m not interested in reaching on any tight ends in Devy at this time, one name that may be worth the gamble (assuming the price is cheap enough) is Trey’Dez Green out of LSU. This guy is one of the most spectacular athletes in the country, and he’s only one year into his college career. Let’s take a look at what this kid brings to the table.
High School
Green attended Zachary High School in Louisiana, where he was a standout athlete in football and basketball. Green’s first sport growing up was basketball – he didn’t even pick up football until his sophomore year of high school. Green received D1 interest early in his basketball career, averaging 27 points and 11 rebounds per game as a junior. He also dominated on the gridiron that year, posting 42 receptions, 864 yards, and 14 touchdowns. Green’s senior year football stats were much of the same, finishing with 46 receptions, 857 yards, and 10 touchdowns. From what I was able to find, it appears Trey’Dez did not play basketball his senior year due to an eligibility dispute with Louisiana’s High School Athletic Association.
According to ESPN, Green was a 4-star recruit in football, ranked as the #7 tight end in the class and the #2 prospect in Louisiana. He received a number of P4 offers and ended up deciding to stay close to home and play for Head Coach Brian Kelly at LSU.
LSU (2024-present)
Green was stuck behind one of the best tight ends in the country this past season, Mason Taylor. Taylor is considered by many to be a Top 4 tight end in the 2025 draft class, posting over 500 receiving yards for the Tigers in 2024. He’s an early-declare and a smooth receiving tight end who surely helped show Green the ropes in Year 1. Heading into his sophomore campaign, Green now has the opportunity to become not only one of the top receiving options on his team but one of the best tight ends in the country. The 6’7″, 245-pound Green did see some action in Year 1, posting 13 receptions for 101 yards and four touchdowns. Trey’Dez established himself as a true redzone threat for the Tigers in 2024, using his big, athletic frame to his advantage, finding paydirt and an incredibly high clip.
Oh yeah, and Green also plays for LSU’s basketball team. He joined following the conclusion of LSU’s football season, appearing in two games so far and playing nine minutes in each contest. Below is a clip of a block and coast-to-coast dunk from Green against #4 Alabama. This guy is a FREAK athlete.
2025 Projections
As mentioned, with Mason Taylor declaring for the 2025 NFL Draft, Green should be the clear TE1 for senior QB Garrett Nussmeier entering next season. While we can expect Trey’Dez to run most of the routes for the Tigers, he will have some added competition for targets next year. In addition to Aaron Anderson returning, LSU scooped up two high-profile WR transfers this offseason, Nic Anderson and Barion Brown. These two prospects have several major red flags in their profile and have plenty left to prove, but produced as true freshmen and have the potential to demand a decent target share in 2025.
Time will tell whether Green can emerge as a top target earner and producer for Nussmeier. What I do like was how often Nuss looked his way in the redzone. We’ll surely see some regression in terms of touchdown rate in 2025, but as long as he continues to be the go-to guy near the endzone, we should be very excited about Green from a fantasy perspective. I think you can make the argument Green should be a Tier 1 Devy TE entering 2025, alongside Lawson Luckie (Georgia) and Luke Hasz (Ole Miss). Green is the most physically gifted of these three and may have the highest fantasy season. I wouldn’t reach too far on Green, as these young TEs end up face-planting far too often, but he would be one of the top three TEs I’d be looking at in Devy moving forward.
