And at the center of that experience is Darren, a teammate who has made Trent feel seen, valued, and loved from day one. So when it came time to nominate someone for Team IMPACT&#8217;s Teammate of the Year award, Trent knew exactly who deserved the honor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-9-16 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Trent and Darren, Rutgers Basketball\" width=\"563\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8QlzyVsNSBI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDarren is like a big brother to me,\u201d Trent said. \u201cHe always calls me his &#8216;little bro&#8217; and makes me feel really special.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Being a good teammate means it\u2019s often the little moments that create the biggest impact. For Trent, those moments happen all the time with Darren, who \u201cgoes out of his way to make my experience feel more special,\u201d Trent said. Whether they&#8217;re talking about Trent&#8217;s favorite sports teams and players, celebrating birthdays and holidays, or sending videos when they can&#8217;t be together in person, Darren always makes sure Trent always feels connected to the team, which Trent says always makes him feel important. Their support extends far beyond game day. They&#8217;ve cheered Trent on at talent shows, attended band concerts, spent time with his friends, and shown up for the moments that matter most in his life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"10239\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Trent3.jpeg?resize=768%2C1024&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10239\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Trent3-scaled.jpeg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Trent3-scaled.jpeg?resize=225%2C300&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Trent3-scaled.jpeg?resize=1152%2C1536&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1152w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Trent3-scaled.jpeg?resize=1536%2C2048&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Trent3-scaled.jpeg?w=1920&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Trent3-scaled.jpeg?w=1600&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"10238\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Trent2.jpeg?resize=683%2C1024&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10238\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Trent2-scaled.jpeg?resize=683%2C1024&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Trent2-scaled.jpeg?resize=200%2C300&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Trent2-scaled.jpeg?resize=768%2C1152&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Trent2-scaled.jpeg?resize=1024%2C1536&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Trent2-scaled.jpeg?resize=1365%2C2048&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1365w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Trent2-scaled.jpeg?w=1707&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1707w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Trent2-scaled.jpeg?w=1600&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"961\" data-id=\"10237\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Trent1.jpeg?resize=800%2C961&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10237\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Trent1.jpeg?w=814&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 814w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Trent1.jpeg?resize=250%2C300&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.teamimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Trent1.jpeg?resize=768%2C923&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Screenshot<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;One of the coolest things he did was come to my band concert after getting home from an away game at 4:00 in the morning,&#8221; Trent said. &#8220;He even got other teammates to come.
