BATON ROUGE – LSU tight end Trey’Dez Green, the school-record holder for career touchdown receptions for a player at his position, has been named to the preseason watch list for the Mackey Award.
The Mackey Award is presented annually to the top tight end in college football.
Green, a 2026 first-team preseason Walter Camp All-America, enters his junior season with 46 career receptions for 534 yards and 11 touchdowns. Last year, Green earned second-team All-SEC honors after hauling in 33 passes for 433 yards and seven scores.
