The mother of Louisiana State University tight end Trey’Dez Green provided an update after her son was injured and seen on crutches during the team’s showdown against Ole Miss.
“MRI showed nothing is torn, tho he has some bad sprains and bruises,” Trey’Dez’s mom, Laketrackey, shared via Facebook on Sunday, September 20. “No surgery needed.”
Laketrackey said her son will “miss some games, and that’s okay.”
Trey’Dez, 20, was helped off the field during the third quarter of the game against Ole Miss in Oxford, Mississippi, on Saturday, September 19, after the junior tight end took a hard hit from Rebels cornerback Antonio Kite. He was later seen using crutches on the sidelines.
“We wanna thank everyone for all the calls/messages,” Laketrackey wrote. “They’re greatly appreciated. My baby have so much support behind him. Giving God all the honor, glory and praise for always covering my baby on & off the field. It’s a reason for every obstacle that’s thrown our way, and sometimes we may not understand it. What we do know is that God makes no mistakes.”
She added, “Most importantly is getting better, everything else will fall in place. What’s for you, is for you, no matter how hard ppl pray on others downfall. God is always there. We thank y’all so much for reaching out and genuinely caring.”
LSU fell to Ole Miss, 32-24, in head coach Lane Kiffin’s contentious return to Oxford after leaving for the LSU job in November 2025.
After plenty of dramatic build-up, Kiffin, 51, was asked after the loss if he was happy to put the game in the rearview mirror.
“I’m sure I’ll be criticized for saying that, but yeah, I am,” Kiffin admitted. “I was thinking that all week, especially today, and I would have said that in a win or a loss. You know, that was really emotional driving in on the buses for a lot of reasons. I’m not saying this because I would have said this anyway since you asked. It was just really a lot of emotions of gratefulness for this place and for the six years. It went well beyond football.”
Kiffin coached at Ole Miss from 2020 to 2025, earning a 55-17 record during his tenure.
“There’s a lot of stuff [in] six years here, and a lot of things and a lot of life-changing experiences and a lot of really good people that helped me through some really hard times,” Kiffin said. “I just thought I would probably be more in, like, the competitive mode and just kind of embrace it. I don’t know. Sometimes you can’t predict your emotions.”
He added, “I know that sometimes I don’t act like it, but I’m a human too, you know.”
LSU returns to action on Saturday, September 26, when they host Texas A&M.
