Trey'Dez Green at LSU: 2026 Stats, No. 7 & Tight End Outlook
Updated: Sep 24
Trey’Dez Green remains one of LSU’s most dangerous matchup weapons, but the initial September 23 SEC availability report lists him out for the September 26 game against Texas A&M after he left the Ole Miss game in the fourth quarter. His mother said an MRI showed no torn ligaments and no surgery is required; LSU has not announced an exact return date.
Quick answer
Trey’Dez Green is listed out against Texas A&M on LSU’s initial September 23 SEC availability report. He remains LSU’s record-setting tight end and one of the Tigers wearing No. 7, but LSU has not announced an exact return date.
Trey'Dez Green's Record-Setting Start
Green caught 33 passes for 433 yards and a team-best seven touchdowns in 2025. Through two LSU seasons, he had already set the program record for career touchdown receptions by a tight end with 11.
Lane Kiffin selected Green as one of LSU's two No. 7 recipients for 2026, sharing the honor with linebacker Whit Weeks. The number is traditionally reserved for elite playmakers and leaders.
Why It Matters for LSU in 2026
At 6-foot-7, Green changes the geometry of the field. He can create red-zone mismatches, stress linebackers and safeties, and give LSU a high-percentage target when defenses take away outside receivers.
