Head Coach Matthew Driscoll on Trent:

"Trent Coleman resonated quickly with our program due to his ability to stretch the floor from three-point range, make plays off the bounce and defend all five positions on the floor. Trent's IQ for the game is not only evident when you watch him play on video, but also after talking through those game clips with him. His ability to recognize, dissect and explain what's about to transpire in the game is an amazing trait that he possesses."

"That IQ also carries over into the classroom where Trent has a deep passion to be the best on and off the court. Just by being around Trent you can sense that he is of high character and is a servant every step he takes."

Why UNF?

"I liked the culture and the coaches made it feel like home." - Trent Coleman
