Playing up at the 16 U level, Trenz was looking confident at both ends of the court on Saturday. His highlight play of the night came when he made a pickpocket steal and had a slam dunk on the other end. Trenz also ran the floor and had a alley-oop layup finish in the game I caught. You don’t see young forwards with Trenz combination of rebounding, end to end speed, touch on jumpers and rim protection very often. This weekend, Trenz was showing why he’s ranked as a top 5 prospect in Ohio’s 2029 class.

Trenz was one of the first 2029 prospects I got to scout last summer when he played up for Midwest Basketball Club 3SSB on their championship winning 15 U team. I was impressed with the size and fluidity of Trenz on both ends of the court, showing the ability to rebound, play physically and beat opposing bigs down the court. Developing as an offensive player, Trenz averaged just under seven points and five and a half rebounds a game for Moeller. After missing the first half of the season, Trenz became a valuable piece for their team by the end of the season. In two rivalry wins over Cincinnati St Xavier, Trenz scored 20 points on 6/7 from the field with 15 rebounds combined in those contests. Trenz also flashed some perimeter shooting ability, going 7/11 from 3-point range as a freshman. You obviously expect the volume on those shots to increase next season but also want Trenz to continue to look to dominate in the paint.

Trenz was absolutely dominant on Sunday, spending half his day hanging on the rim after monster slam dunks. Looking incredibly confident making quick moves off the dribble, Trenz is then aggressive in the paint by going up off one or two feet and throwing it down. Not many players can match up with Trenz in terms of height but he’s also dominating with his quickness for a player of his height. One of the most intriguing 2029 prospects in the entire state, Trenz is a last name you’ll be hearing a lot about as both Carson and Austin will be focal points of the Moeller program over the next few years.
