In a major coup for head coach Jedd Fisch and the Washington Huskies, five-star offensive tackle Kodi Greene has officially flipped his commitment from Oregon to UW, as reported by 247Sports insiders Brandon Huffman and Greg Biggins.
A Hometown Return
Originally from Sammamish, Washington, Greene began his high school football journey at Eastside Catholic, one of the top programs in the Pacific Northwest. He later transferred to powerhouse Mater Dei High School in Southern California for increased exposure and competition. His switch back to the Pacific Northwest is both a personal and strategic move, aligning with his roots and the opportunity to help build something special under Fisch’s leadership.
The Huskies have also landed Greene’s Mater Dei teammate, three-star safety CJ Lavender, who committed to Washington in March. Their tandem commitments could strengthen UW’s Southern California recruiting pipeline while also reinforcing its commitment to attracting top-tier talent with local ties.
Recruiting Rankings & Impact
Greene is ranked the No. 23 overall prospect and the No. 4 offensive tackle in the 2026 class, per the On3 Industry Ranking, a composite that aggregates data from all four major recruiting services. He’s also considered the No. 5 player in California and is listed at No. 10 overall in the On300.
His decommitment is a significant blow to Oregon, where he had been the second-highest-rated recruit in their 2026 class. Conversely, it’s a seismic boost for Washington: Greene becomes the first blue-chip recruit in the Huskies’ 2026 haul and immediately elevates UW’s class to No. 23 nationally in the On3 Industry Team Rankings.
Scouting Report
Greene’s physical tools and on-field performance make him one of the most coveted linemen in the country. Here’s how On3 scouts summarize his game:
“Nimble offensive tackle who brings a translatable skill set with size and projectable movement skills. Measured around 6-foot-6, and north of 300 pounds before his senior season. Touts average to solid length for his height. Transferred to SoCal powerhouse Mater Dei for his junior season, primarily lining up at right tackle for the Monarchs. A high-level mover. Fluid and balanced. Works to the second level effortlessly. Dangerous as a puller. Shows good pop in his hands and plays with encouraging power. Has a solid understanding of body positioning, walling off defensive linemen. More advanced as a run blocker, but has the skill set to develop into a reliable pass protector over time. Battle-tested and fared well against top competition as a junior. Can continue to improve his hand placement and overall technique.”
Looking Ahead
Greene’s commitment is not only a statement of intent by the new coaching regime at Washington, but it also signifies the Huskies’ emergence as a legitimate destination for elite linemen looking to develop in a pro-style, Big Ten-ready program. With Jedd Fisch at the helm and momentum building in the 2026 class, Washington appears poised to compete at the national level—both on the field and on the recruiting trail.
