Early life
Born and raised in Columbus, Ohio, Trent played his high school basketball at Hamilton Township High School. During his senior season, he shot 81.4% from the field, which is the national high school record.
He played college basketball at Ohio University in the Mid-American Conference (MAC), where his size and powerful play earned him the nickname "The Shaq of the MAC". Trent was named MAC Player of the Year all three years that he played in Athens (1993, 1994, 1995). Trent's Ohio University No. 20 jersey was retired on January 21, 2012, during halftime of an Ohio vs. Miami University game. Ohio beat Miami 69–65. Trent was inducted into the MAC Hall of Fame in 2013.
