WOW

Thats pretty much all I can say these days.  The pre-draft process is finally over and it feels good, real good.  I had a workout today with the Saints today and it went really well.  That was my last thing I had to do before this weekend.  What can I say I'm JACKED UP about it.

I'm going to be chillin here in Minnesota waiting for my name to scroll across that screen.  I can't wait...I literally can't wait.  

Wish me luck

Your boy,

Hey peeps-

Well the draft is now only 1.5 weeks away...pretty crazy. I am just so anxious to know what team wants me enough to call my name....hopefully on the first day! Whoever takes me is gonna change my life so much...new city, new friends, new teammates...just insane to think about. I'm definitely looking forward to starting that phase of my life...it should be mad fun.

For the draft I think we're just gonna hang at my parents house with family and chill out. Then if/when I get drafted, we'll invite a bunch of friends over to celebrate and have a bit ol party. Should be a good time. I know we're planning on getting some of it on video, which I'm sure we'll get on the web shortly after.

Well all of my visits went really well. It was good to get to know the coaches and see what they're all about. Should be fun no matter where I get drafted.

On a bad note, I've been crazy sick this past week with pneumonia. No good. I'm feeling a little better now though and hopefully will feel 100% soon. I'm just glad this didn't happen during the combine or anything...would have been terrible.

Other than that, just been keeping in shape, enjoying my family and friends, rocking UA gear and waiting for the draft. Let's get it on!!!

Oh, check out the new Raconteurs CD...outstanding. You'll love it. Especially the first and last songs on the disc...just dirty.

Holla at me!

Hey all-

Just wanted to give a quick hello and that I'm flying out today to make my first visit to a NFL club. I'm pretty excited about it. I'm anxious to see how things go, and just how these things work. Should be fun.

I'm officially out of South Bend. I drove home this past weekend for good. Lots of great memories from South Bend that I'll take with me forever. I'm also excited to begin the next phase of my life though. It was a good send off weekend though, as Ambrose was there, and Victor flew in from Philly to help us send SB off properly. It was fun seeing him as I haven't seen him in quite awhile.

You guys should also check out Jeff's blog page, as he's blogging more and more right now as his season has started. He's pitching in TN for the AA club there. Shouldn't be too long before he's blowing people away in the Majors!!!

Anyways, I'll be busy the next couple of days with team visits, but I'll try and get out another blog to let you know how they went.

Holla!!!!

Hey what's up-


I have been back in ND for a couple weeks now and it has been tough to get used to the cold weather.  My blood really thinned out after those few months in SoCal.  It has been good here though.  The pro day went really well I am happy about that.  I am also glad that the hardest parts of this really long job interview that I have been going through are over.  Since the pro day things have been pretty chill though.  I have just been working out with Sullivan and hanging out with all the fellas.

I got to go home for Easter, which was great.  I got to eat some good food and see my family. It's always nice to go home.  We had an Easter egg hunt for my 20 month old niece, Avery.  I was also in charge of creating some fake Easter bunny tracks which really got a reaction out of her.  

That is pretty much about it though.  Things have been pretty mellow lately around here.  This week I am just workin out some more and slowly moving out of my apartment.  We have a packed house so we have to get a Uhaul to put our stuff in for the long drive back to Minnesota. If all goes well we are planning on leaving on Saturday.  After I get back home I have a few team visits scheduled.  As of now I am planning on going to the Vikings, the Redskins, and the Rams.

So the process is coming to an end.  Just a few weeks left to wait and see which city I will be starting the next phase of my life in.  Pretty crazy stuff...

Your boy,

Trev

Whaddup everyone-

Well I had an outstanding weekend with my bro, Daniel, who was visiting from Minnesota. We visited some cool spots and he really enjoyed his time in sunny California. Seems like everytime someone comes out to visit, they wanna move here! Murph ended up getting us into a gala for a fundraiser for the Freedom Writers Foundation. The owner of Wahoo's was there, so was Titio Ortiz. Ended up being super fancy and super fun. We were definitely living the life!! Then we went out to the peninsula and enjoyed some good food and drink at Sharky's. The weather was super nice all weekend, so we hung out by the pool quite a bit too...doesn't get much better than that!

Dan left Monday, and after that it was time to get back work in prep for the ND pro day. I'm ready to go and dominate this last workout (most likely) before the draft. Been working a lot on positional drills, as well as cardio to make sure I'm in shape for the beating they're gonna put me through. I'm ready though, and I fly out to ND on the 15th.

Been packing up my apartment too...which is pretty crazy. It's really felt like home here lately...definitely could live out here for a couple years. Not much to dislike about the area. Who knows where I'll end up though! Also been meeting with financial advisors getting prepped for all of that madness...insane.

Be sure to check out the News page and check out my brand new logo...it's PIMP. It just fits me, and since it's family created it makes it even better. Hopefully we'll be coming out with some t-shirts and stuff with that logo on it, so be on the lookout for that. Can't wait to rock the TL logo!

I'll try and hit ya'll up before the pro day, but with packing and traveling it may be tough...I'll try though. As always, thanks for reading!

TREVOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!!!

Hey out there

Hey all-

Well I'm done with the combine and it feels great. I'm really happy that it's all done, and even happier that I performed well. It was a crazy process, and something that is pretty unique to go through. It was stressful to go through all the interviews, and meet all the big time coaches...especially when they tried to mess you up by throwing you a curveball just to see how you'd react. It was good though.

As far as the drills, I was real happy with my bench, which was tied for 1st among DTs, and my vertical which was 1st overall among DTs. I always knew I had some hops! I'm pleased with my 40, even though I would have loved to get it under 5 seconds. Oh well I guess. It was still a good time for a DT, so I'm not too worried. My 3 cone was also really good and I was happy about that. For the ND pro day, I don't think I'm gonna do any timed drills again, but instead just focus on the positional drills. I think I did well enough on all the drills that I can do that...it's not a for sure thing yet...but that's what we're leaning towards.

This week I got back into training, but now I'm working more on cardio training for the positional drills, whereas before I was working more on speed training for the combine. It's a little bit different type of training, but I'm still hitting the weights and keep my strength up. I'm working with a positional coach a couple times a week to go through some drills, and he really pushes hard. It's good...but man do I hate to see him cuz I know I'm about to DO WORK!!

I have about two weeks before I head back down to ND to get ready for the pro day, which is on the 19th. Then I'm pretty much done, except for private workouts for teams if they want. Then it's the draft!!!

Well today I'm about to have some fun. Me, Sully and our agent Brian Murphy are gonna go race some high speed go-carts!! I'm pumped! Should be a blast. Then we're gonna head out for dinner and enjoy ourselves. Kind of a congrats on a good combine for us. We're pretty stoked.

Check out the news page as I just did an interview with a Houston radio show and we have a link to the audio there. It was cool.

Oh, we're also working on an official logo for the site...it's pretty sweet. My cousin Markus and brother Drew are putting it together...we'll be able to put it on some t-shirts and stuff too. Should be sweet. Look for that soon!

Talk to ya'll next week!
Peace!

Yooooo-

Well, the combine is here and it's a crazy time. From the first moment you arrive, people are talking to your or poking or prodding you to see how you react and what you're made of. It's really kinda insane. At one point they take your x-rays, put them on a board and you go stand under them. Then the teams come around and look at them, poke you, pull you, twist you...all kinds of things to see where your weak spots are. I started laughing at one point because I looked down and there were literally four people grabbing me, one on each limb. It was pretty funny if you think about it.

Anyways, on to the updates. If you remember awhile back one of my goals was to weigh in over 300lbs. Well, I can check that one off as I weighed in at 304 lbs officially. Nice. I also measured 6' 3/4". That is actually a quarter of an inch TALLER than Sedrick Ellis. Not sure why I get dinged for my height and Sed doesn't...but oh well. So I was happy about that.

Today was a trip too. Started off on the bench press. Again, I had set a goal of above 30 reps before the combine...and I can check that bad boy off too cuz I put up 35 reps!!! I am pretty pumped about that. It can be intimidating walking into that room and seeing everyone just staring at the bench. I focused though, and just started pumping myself up. Funny thing happened as I was doing that...the dude that was counting and helping with the bench started getting into it too...and started yelling at me "show em what you got!!", then he pulls out "show em what you got WOLFMAN! Show em WOLF!"...I was like WHAT? I went with it though and absolutely destroyed the bench. I actually tied for 2nd among DL only 2 behind the leader. Some other notables...Kentwan Balmer got 33, Sedrick Ellis got 34, Demario Pressley got 28 and Red Bryant got 20. So I'm pretty proud that I beat all of those guys.

Then I took the Wonderlic test, which wasn't too bad. After that it was meetings, meetings, meetings. Some of the teams were the Jets, Bears, Steelers, Cowboys, Panthers, 49ers and Browns. Some 3-4, some 4-3...so we'll see.

I had 7 straight meetings to end the night. Some went well, some not so well...all part of the process I think. A lot of times they do stuff just to rattle you to see how you handle it...just gotta do what you can. One team was showing some tape of our season and asking all kinds of questions about the defense...and pretty much in each clip I did something wrong or didn't make a play...it was pretty terrible...but can't let them rattle ya...just gotta keep answering questions and try not to get flustered.

Tomorrow is the big day where we are actually on the field doing drills. I'm excited to get on there and DO WORK! Need to have a big day and finish this thing with a bang. I've had a good start so now it's time to go out with a bang. I'll holla when I get back to Cali!!!

Hey hey hey-

How are things? Everything is excellent here. Had a super fun weekend, which is always a good thing. My aunt from North Carolina was in town, and my cousin lives in Burbank, so they came down and we hit up Wahoo's for some most excellent food. I love that place. Whenever someone is in town visiting, we always go there. We don't have them back home in MN, so it's a must visit. Anyways, it was fun seeing them.

Went out to the pool and laid out for like 3 hours straight today. It was soooo nice out. I pumped up the Bob Marley and just relaxed and did a little swimming. I felt like the other people at the pool were doing some serious mean muggin, but I'm sure it was all good. Just a super relaxing way to spend a day. I could definitely get used to that!

I honestly can't believe the combine is a week away!!! Time FLIES out here while I've been training. It's pretty amazing actually. I'm ready, but there's always that feeling of just not being ready that's tough to shake. I've prepared though, and will continue this week getting ready for the big weekend. I fly out Friday night, and weigh in Saturday, and then do start actually working on Sunday and Monday. Pretty crazy man...I'm pumped though...let's get this done and over with!!

Hope everyone is doing well out there. Thanks for all the fanmail everyone sends in...I do read it and it's awesome. Can't thank you enough for all of that. Keep it coming...and GO IRISH!!
