Fan-flipping-tabulous. A must listen. 

Absolutely hilarious when LD talks about why OL are so easy-going: "Growing up, we were the chubby kids girls didn't look at. So we had to have personality."

I couldn't be happier for Trente getting a little shine off this game, though obviously hate the injury that caused it. 

Trente spoke at a sports social work training I attended through the UM AD, and his perspective was really thought-provoking because he's obviously so intelligent but he just offers takes that you wouldn't really anticipate hearing because they're creative and unique. He also spoke about sometimes feeling a little outside of the team in culture because he doesn't like famous Oline activities like fishing, etc -- but he didn't paint this as a negative, rather just a reflection on some of the social / emotional challenges that players can face even in successful contexts. 

Hope to see him pave all competition these next 3 games and that it puts him on draft radars. If anyone embodies "Those Who Stay," it's Trente.
