One of the top players in Louisiana committed Wednesday afternoon to LSU.
Trey’Dez Green, a two-sport star at East Feliciana High School, picked the Tigers over Alabama, Tennessee, Texas A&M and Miami.
Green, a four-star football recruit, is considered the No. 2 player in the state and the No. 3 tight end in the country, according to the 247Sports composite rankings. He became the highest-rated prospect in LSU’s 2024 class at No. 57 overall.
Last season, Green had 42 catches for 864 yards and 14 touchdowns to help East Feliciana reach the Division IV nonselect playoffs. He turned into a dominant pass catcher despite not playing football until his sophomore year.
Green, who’s listed around 6-foot-8, has also shined as a basketball player. The power forward led East Feliciana to the LHSAA tournament as the top seed in Division IV for the first time last season. He earned all-state honors by averaging 24 points, 13 rebounds, four assists and three blocks per game.
LSU now has 14 commitments in the class, tied with Michigan and Wake Forest for the most in the nation. Green became the third top 5 recruit in the state to choose LSU this cycle. A year after missing on half of the top 10 in-state players, the Tigers could land most of the highest-rated recruits in Louisiana.
With Green and four-star Tayvion Galloway committed, LSU continued to add tight ends, an important position in offensive coordinator Mike Denbrock’s scheme. The Tigers signed three tight ends in the 2023 class.
