Kodi Greene

Physical Profile

Prototype blindside frame. He was listed at 6-6, 285-290 pounds with a reported 80-inch wingspan during his junior year at Mater Dei, and Washington's 2026 roster now lists him at 6-6, 315 after one college offseason. That 25-30 pound gain without a position change is the profile you want: he was always going to carry 315-plus, and the length was never in question. The wingspan lets him land first against edge rushers, and reporting from camps and Trinity League film describes a natural, on-balance mover rather than a stiff mass-and-length tackle. Hip and ankle flexibility appear adequate for a man his size; he does not play tall on tape descriptions.

Play Style

A technician with rare size rather than a mauler. Descriptions of his junior tape and camp work emphasize clean footwork, a controlled kick-slide, and staying square through contact. He wins with reach and timing on the first punch, then rides rushers past the pocket rather than trying to knock them down. In the run game he is more of a positional wall-off blocker than a road-grader, which fits a tackle who spent his prep years in the 285-290 range. He plays composed and rarely panics when initially beaten, using length to recover.

Strengths

• Length and first contact: an 80-inch wingspan on a 6-6 frame lets him establish hands before rushers can get to his chest, which is the single most important trait for a college left tackle.
• Balance and mirror ability: 247Sports' evaluation specifically credits him with playing on-balance and mirroring speed rushers while still anchoring against bull rushes, a combination most 300-pound high schoolers do not have.
• Competition pedigree: earned Trinity League Offensive Lineman of the Year and MaxPreps Junior All-American honors playing the toughest high school schedule in the country, and stood out at multiple national showcase camps against top-50 edge prospects.
• Early readiness: enrolled in January, won the left tackle job in spring and fall camp, and was named to the Shaun Alexander Freshman of the Year watch list before playing a snap. Head coach Jedd Fisch publicly called him an elite left tackle with every expectation of starting.

Areas to Improve

• Pass-set consistency against Big Ten speed-to-power: high school rushers rarely tested his anchor after a long-arm or chop, and the first true-freshman starts will expose any tendency to overset or lunge with his length.
• Strength maturation and run-game finish: the jump from 285 to 315 is recent, and he still needs to convert that mass into functional lower-body power to displace Big Ten defensive ends on gap and duo runs rather than winning purely with reach and positioning.
• Hand timing and reset: elite length can become a crutch; he will need to refine independent hand usage and recovery when a rusher clears his initial punch.

College Projection

Day-one starter at left tackle for Washington, which is already happening: he was announced as the first-time starter at left tackle for the 2026 opener against Washington State. Realistic path is three seasons as the blindside starter with All-Big Ten consideration by year two if the strength curve continues, then an early NFL declaration after his true junior year in 2028. The only comparable in the program is 2025 Freshman All-American guard John Mills, and Greene's ceiling is higher because he is doing it at tackle.

NFL Outlook

Legitimate first-round tackle profile. Height, wingspan, and 315-pound frame with natural movement skills are the exact measurables NFL teams draft in the top 20 at left tackle. If he handles Big Ten edge rushers as a freshman and adds functional power, he projects as a three-year-and-out prospect with Day 1 draft grades entering the 2029 draft. The variance is in his anchor and run-game finish; if those plateau, the floor is a Day 2 right tackle.

Best Fit

Pro-style, pass-protection-heavy offense that asks the left tackle to handle wide-nine speed on an island, which is exactly what Jedd Fisch's Washington scheme does. Programs that pull tackles constantly or run gap-heavy schemes would waste his best trait, which is mirroring in space with length. His fit at Washington is also personal: he is a Renton native, his brother Kayden is a Husky defensive back, and the staff has a proven track record of starting true-freshman linemen.
