Scouting Report
Kodi Greene is a five-star offensive tackle out of national powerhouse Mater Dei (Santa Ana, CA), ranked No. 19 overall and a top-3 tackle nationally in the 247Sports Composite (0.9886). A Washington signee who flipped from Oregon in April 2025, Greene is a rare blend of mass, movement skill, and positional versatility, having started at right tackle as a junior and left tackle as a senior against elite Trinity League competition.
Physical Profile
At 6-foot-6 and roughly 320 pounds, Greene carries prototype left tackle dimensions with the frame already college-ready — he won't need a redshirt year in the weight room to add functional mass. His length and thickness are matched by uncommon lower-body athleticism for his size: he plays with balance and posture, takes few false steps, and has the twitch to reset and recover when initially beaten. The combination of a mauler's build with the foot quickness to mirror speed rushers is what separates him from other big-bodied tackles in the 2026 class.
Play Style
Greene plays with a finisher's temperament in the run game — he latches, steers, and buries defenders rather than simply walling them off — but shifts seamlessly into a controlled, patient pass protector. On film he's notable for how rarely he lunges or over-sets; he trusts his feet, wins with angles and positioning, and shows the recovery twitch to re-anchor when rushers convert speed to power. His comfort pulling into space and climbing to the second level makes him scheme-versatile rather than a phone-booth-only mauler.
Strengths
- Elite run-game physicality — 247Sports' Greg Biggins notes he can 'maul an opposing edge or linebacker,' grabbing control of defenders on front-side blocks and winning with angles
- Legitimate pass-protection athleticism and finesse to handle speed rushers, a trait rarely paired with his level of run-blocking violence
- Second-level and space blocking — reaches linebacker-depth targets with ease and has the feet to lead on outside runs and screens and land a hat on moving targets
- Proven against the best competition in America — two-way tackle experience (RT as a junior, LT as a senior) in the Trinity League at Mater Dei
- Battle-tested recruitment pedigree: held his ranking through a high-profile Oregon commitment, a Washington flip, and late Florida pursuit, signing as UW's headline recruit
Areas to Improve
- Consistency of pad level and leverage — at 6-6 with a high center of gravity, he must keep refining knee bend against shorter, leverage-based power rushers at the college level
- Continued refinement of pass-set variety and hand timing; his recovery athleticism sometimes bails him out where cleaner initial technique will be required against Big Ten edge talent
College Projection
Greene projects as an immediate competitor for a starting tackle job at Washington, with multi-year starter written all over him. Given his experience on both sides of the line, don't be surprised if he opens at right tackle as a true freshman before settling in as the long-term blindside protector. Realistic expectation: Day 1 rotational/starting snaps in 2026, entrenched starter by Year 2, All-Big Ten candidate by Year 3.
NFL Outlook
Legitimate first-round trajectory. 247Sports' evaluation explicitly projects 'Day 1 of the NFL Draft upside,' and the profile supports it: prototype tackle measurables, elite composite ranking (0.9886, No. 19 nationally), production against the nation's toughest high school schedule, and the run/pass balance NFL teams demand from left tackles. If his technique matures on schedule, he's a three-and-out candidate for the 2029 draft.
Best Fit
A program that marries a physical, gap/duo run game with modern spread passing concepts — which is exactly what he chose in Washington. He's best maximized in a scheme that lets him displace defenders downhill while also asking him to climb, pull, and protect on true dropbacks; his rare run-block/pass-pro balance means he doesn't need to be hidden in either phase. Zone-heavy or wide-zone systems also fit given his second-level mobility.
Player Comparison
Both are exceptionally large, elite-rated prospects at 6'5" and over 300 pounds who dominated at the highest levels of high school competition. Vea was similarly ranked as a top-20 national prospect with positional versatility, able to play both defensive line and even some offensive line in high school, matching Greene's indicated flexibility and elite pedigree.
