​Coming into the season, Jedd Fisch and the Washington Huskies hinged a lot of their hopes on the offensive line on a true freshman, former five-star recruit Kodi Greene.Early in the season, it was clear that the 6-foot-6, 315-pound in-state product from Renton, Washington, who played his last two years of prep ball at Mater Dei High School in Southern California, needed some time to get used to the play strength of the college level. It got to the point where Fisch and offensive line coach Michael Switzer opted to utilize him in a rotation with 2025 Freshman All-American John Mills at the position, but following some injuries up front, Greene has stepped back into a full-time role.After being named a Midseason True Freshman All-American by 247Sports, Greene has had an impressive month, showing promising signs of growth against Purdue, Nebraska, and Penn State.”His confidence, to me, has skyrocketed,” Switzer said on Tuesday. “Early in the season, playing, having some reps, divvied up kind of there in the middle, and then getting back to it in playing full games the last two weeks, it’s been awesome to see his development and his upward ascension in terms of this season.” “I think that he’s playing with great confidence. I think that he attacked, really, since the bye week in terms of how he’s approaching everything day to day. 
He always has. It’s always been his personality, but taking it to the next level and putting good film out there and really playing at a high level. It’s very impressive to see, but it’s really his mindset, his mentality, the confidence has allowed him to do that. 
He’s got the ability, but it’s been pretty cool to see.”As Greene appears to be developing into a cornerstone piece of Washington’s offensive line, following the Huskies’ trip to Michigan State, who is tied for No. 12 in the Big Ten in sacks with 17 sacks, he’ll have a pair of big tests to end the regular season in two of the conference’s best defensive lines in Indiana and Oregon.This article originally appeared on Huskies Wire: Kodi Greene’s confidence is growing quickly for Washington football
