Kodi Greene

Physical Profile

Prototype left-tackle frame at 6-foot-6 with an ~80-inch wingspan, and the weight arc is the real story: he was listed at 285 pounds as a junior at Mater Dei, 315 entering his first college fall camp, and 321 on his current 247Sports profile. That's roughly 30-35 pounds added without the foot quickness degrading, which is the single most important indicator in a high school tackle's projection. The length lets him set the edge width of the pocket and keeps rushers on his frame rather than into his chest; the mass gives him legitimate displacement power in the run game rather than the tall, narrow-hipped body type that has to survive on technique alone. Balance and change of direction are described consistently as very good for the size, and he moves well enough to climb to the second level, which is not typical of a 320-pound high schooler.

Play Style

A left tackle who plays with an aggressive, finishing temperament in the run game and a patient, technical demeanor in protection — an unusual combination of dispositions. On film he sets with a controlled kick, keeps his hands inside, and uses length to widen the arc rather than lunging; when a rusher tries to convert speed to power he redirects rather than catching. In the run game he plays with real intent, driving through contact and showing the mobility to climb to the second level and stay attached to a moving linebacker. He is a heady, communicative player who diagnoses the front pre-snap and passes off games cleanly, which is why he was trusted at right tackle as a junior and moved to the blind side as a senior.

Strengths

• Rare two-way profile for the position — genuine mauler traits in the run game (capable of displacing an edge defender or covering up a linebacker at the second level) paired with the lateral quickness and hand finesse to handle speed off the edge in pass protection. Most high school tackles are one or the other.
• Football IQ and pass-protection processing well beyond his class. Evaluators specifically credit him with picking up stunts and twists — a pro-level recognition skill that most tackles do not acquire until year two or three of college. Combined with his mobility, it means he passes off and re-fits rather than getting washed out on games up front.
• Technically polished as a pass setter — described as a 'skilled corner protector' with a refined kick-slide, good feet and balance. He is not a raw athlete being sold on traits.
• Proven against the highest level of high school competition and positionally versatile: right tackle as a junior, left tackle as a senior in the Trinity League, earning Trinity League Offensive Lineman MVP and MaxPreps Junior All-American honors.

Areas to Improve

• Play strength and anchor at his new playing weight. He has added ~35 pounds in roughly 18 months; sustaining pad level and anchoring against a college power rusher's long-arm/bull is different from absorbing a high school edge, and rapid mass gain often outruns the functional lower-body strength that has to support it. This is the specific thing that decides whether he starts as a true freshman or redshirts.
• Consistency of hand placement and punch timing under a full college pass-rush menu. His technique is advanced for his age, but Trinity League reps do not replicate the rush volume, counter-move depth or speed-to-power conversion he'll see in Big Ten play — expect early-season reps where he sets soft or lands wide and gets his frame turned.
• Recognition against disguised pressure. He reads stunts and twists well, but he has not yet been tested against simulated pressures, late-rotating fronts and true four-man games with an NFL-caliber interior — the mental workload jump is steeper than the physical one.

College Projection

This has already moved past projection. Greene enrolled at Washington and took every rep with the first-team offensive line throughout 2026 spring practice; head coach Jedd Fisch publicly compared him to 2025 Freshman All-American John Mills and expected him to compete for a starting job immediately. FOX Sports' Michael Cohen ranked him No. 3 on his Top 10 most impactful freshmen list for the 2026 season. Realistic outcome: opening-day starter at left tackle as a true freshman with the normal freshman variance — a handful of pressures and a technique-driven sack or two against the better Big Ten rush units — trending toward all-conference recognition by year two and a three-year college career before he is draft-eligible.

NFL Outlook

Legitimate first-round upside at a premium position. At least one national evaluator has already assigned him a First Round projection with an Anton Harrison (Jacksonville Jaguars) comparison, and the trait profile supports it: 6-6 with 80-inch length, a body that has proven it can carry 320 pounds without losing feet, and pass-set technique that is already college-functional. The path is a straightforward one — start early, add functional strength through a college program, and be a top-15 conversation as a third-year player. The variables that would pull him down are anchor development and durability, not athletic ceiling or position value.

Best Fit

A pro-style, gap/zone-mixed offense that asks its left tackle to pass-set in true drop-back protection and still be a factor at the point of attack in the run game — precisely what Washington under Jedd Fisch is asking of him. His mobility and second-level ability mean an outside-zone/wide-zone component maximizes him rather than wasting him, but he does not need scheme protection: he is athletic enough for a spread pass-first attack and heavy enough for a downhill gap system. The larger fit factor is an offensive line room that will let a true freshman play through mistakes at left tackle rather than hiding him at guard or on the right side, and a strength program with the patience to build anchor under the mass he has already added.
