LSU Tight End Praises Kiffin, Hints at Kelly Issues

LSU tight end Trey'Dez Green is preparing for the upcoming 2026-27 season under new head coach Lane Kiffin. Recently, Green hosted a football camp at his former high school, Feliciana High. He shared his positive outlook on Kiffin's leadership, stating that the coach is "exactly what we've been missing." This sentiment appeared to contrast with the previous coach, Brian Kelly, who was fired during the 2025 season.

Green also discussed his developing chemistry with quarterback Sam Leavitt, noting they practice together daily. With his size and the team's new offensive scheme designed to utilize tight ends, Green is poised for a significant season. Last year, he recorded 33 catches for 433 yards and seven touchdowns. The Tigers aim to rebound offensively and return to their winning traditions in the competitive SEC under Kiffin.
