LSU football five-star true freshman joins LSU basketball team

One LSU football standout is lending his talents to another team in Baton Rouge.

Trey’Dez Green officially joined the men’s basketball team ahead of its Tuesday matchup with Arkansas. The tight end signed with the Tigers as a two-sport athlete and hit the hardwood for the first time against the Razorbacks.

LSU took the win 78-74 in the PMAC. Green didn’t see his first minutes but he brings his six-foot-seven, 245-pound frame to his home state team. The Jackson, LA native averaged 27 points and 11 rebounds in his junior year at East Feliciana High School. He transferred to Zachary High School for his senior year and was not allowed to play basketball.

The tight end ranked No. 1 at his position in the country, No. 2 in Louisiana, and No. 31 overall in the 2024 recruiting class. The five-star prospect committed to the Tigers over SEC foes Ole Miss, Alabama, and Tennessee among other Power Four schools.

On the football field, Green looks prime to be a central part of LSU’s offense in 2025 after a breakout performance in the Texas Bowl.
