Kodi Greene

Physical Profile

Listed at 6-5, 320 lbs. Taller than 12% and heavier than 87% of 2026 Offensive Tackle prospects in the SEC Scouts database (182 with a listed size).

Play Style

He is a pass-protection-first left tackle who wins with length, balance and footwork rather than brute force. In high school his sets looked calm and under control: he mirrors speed rushers without over-setting and drops his hips to absorb power rushes instead of getting knocked back. Because he's balanced, he rarely ends up on the ground or lunging, which is why evaluators call him technically advanced for his age. In Washington's offense he's being used as the blind-side protector, and his profile suits a pass-heavy, spread-based system that asks tackles to handle rushers one-on-one on an island.

Strengths

• Pass protection against speed: Biggins notes he 'can mirror the speed rushers,' which is the must-have trait for a blind-side tackle. His 80+ inch wingspan widens the arc edge rushers have to run around him.
• Anchor and balance: he is described as technically sound and 'plays on-balance,' able to 'anchor and stand his ground against bull rushers.' It's rare for a high school tackle to handle both speed and power, and it explains why Washington trusted him at left tackle right away.
• Tested competition and readiness: he earned OL MVP honors in the Trinity League, widely considered the toughest high school league in the country, then took every first-team LT rep in spring. Coach Jedd Fisch said of him: 'We have an elite left tackle coming in as a true freshman who I have every expectation will be our starter.'
• Mental approach: he credits UW offensive line coach Michael Switzer's 'never wait' message and teammate John Mills (a 2025 Freshman All-American guard) for how he approached winning the job. He says his biggest gain has been 'my mental ability,' meaning protection calls and processing, which is usually what holds back freshman linemen.

Areas to Improve

• Strength at 315 lbs: his anchor was a strength against high school players, but Big Ten edge rushers and interior stunts will test whether the 15-30 lbs he added is functional strength. Expect a full college strength program to make the biggest difference in years 1-2.
• Recognizing stunts and games: true-freshman tackles typically get beaten by twists, delayed blitzes and simulated pressures more than by one-on-one speed. Consistent communication with the guard next to him and set discipline on third down are the areas to watch in his first-year film.
• Run-game finish and angles: public evaluations focus on his pass protection. Being a complete tackle will require showing he can move defenders on down blocks and reach blocks, and consistently get to the second level to block linebackers.

College Projection

The projection is already coming true: he is Washington's starting left tackle as a true freshman in 2026, the second freshman offensive line starter of the Fisch era after Mills. Realistically, year one will bring the usual freshman ups and downs against top Big Ten edge rushers and pressure packages, with Freshman All-American as the ceiling if his pass-block consistency holds up (he has named that as his goal). With a normal strength progression, he projects as a multi-year starter at left tackle and an all-conference candidate by year 2 or 3.

NFL Outlook

He has first-round tools: a five-star pedigree, 6-5/315 with 80+ inch arms, the balance to handle both speed and power, and a starting job at left tackle from day one. Starting early builds the tape NFL teams want to see from a blind-side tackle. He becomes draft-eligible after the 2028 season. If he adds functional strength and cleans up the typical freshman issues with stunts and games, he projects as a Day 1-2 pick and a potential first-round left tackle in the 2029 draft. The main risk is how much stronger he gets, not his athletic ceiling.

Best Fit

A pro-style or spread offense with heavy pass volume that trusts its left tackle to block edge rushers one-on-one, where his length and ability to mirror rushers matter most. Washington under Jedd Fisch, with position coach Michael Switzer, is close to ideal: he's starting on the blind side right away, he's in his home region with his brother Kayden (a UW walk-on defensive back) on the roster, and he has a developmental path already shown by John Mills. Zone-heavy run schemes that value athletic linemen who can reach and move laterally also suit his feet better than power-gap schemes built on drive blocking.
