er who can score any time he touches the ball.

ing the season (for nation's top wide receiver). A

weeks ago against Minnesota.
Downs: The senior was held to negative
yards (two catches, minus-four yards)

Quotable: "Their special teams are
excellent. When (Dorien) Bryant's

ing back there. He can bring it at
any time." -Ohio State coach Jim

Position: Cornerback
Height: 6-foot-1
Weight: 184 pounds
Year: Redshirt junior
The skinny: A wide receiver-turned-cornerback who is
coming into his own in his third year at his new position.
Ups: Trent shut down Notre Dame's Jeff Samardzija last year
on the road and has become the Michigan secondary's most reliable
player this season.
Downs: The junior got beat repeatedly against Ohio State and South-
ern Cal to close out an otherwise solid sophomore season.
Quotable: "He came back in the winter with an attitude that he
wanted to play a full season. He's a very dedicated guy, takes care of
himself. He's got pride, and that motivated him in the course of the
spring and off-season. There's no question in my mind he'll be able to
finish this year." -- Michigan coach Lloyd Carr.
