3 Reasons LSU's Trey'Dez Green Will Be College Football's Top TE Next Season

When you get to the college level, especially in a conference of the pedigree that the SEC is, nearly every athlete is going to be bigger, faster, stronger, and more talented than elsewhere around the country. For Green, though, that is taken to a whole different level in his measurables.

Standing at 6-foot-7, 240 pounds, he is a two-sport athlete who is also dominant on the basketball court and has the arm length and vertical ability to back it up. He runs like an oversized slot receiver while being strong enough to block on the line of scrimmage, making him one of the most dominant tight ends.

Kiffin Offense Combination

Kiffin is known for having a dynamic offense, usually mixing talented rosters, with electric playcalling that schemes the players open. That's been the story of his coaching career, and now that he is in Baton Rouge, it will be no different as he looks to keep the same success.

During his time with the Ole Miss Rebels, tight ends have been a featured part of his offense, often finishing among the top five pass catchers on the team and serving as a weapon in the red zone. Pairing that with what Green has already shown with the Tigers is a match made in heaven.

Red Zone Effeciency

In a struggling offense this past season, Green was often the lone bright spot, especially in the passing game, finishing third on the team in receiving yards with 433 and leading the team with 7 touchdowns. Now, he looks to take that a step further with more talent surrounding him and a new quarterback in Sam Leavitt.

He's too big for cornerbacks and safeties to guard him in the red zone, and is too fast for a linebacker to be placed on him as well. Think of an early career Mike Evans, and how effective he was in the red zone, and that is the type of playstyle, and success, that could arrive from Green during the season.
