UTEP tight end ready to leave a legacy

UTEP tight end Trent Thompson is from Houston, Texas and has been playing football since he was 8 years old and has fallen in love with the sport since.

Thompson is a senior accounting major set to graduate in the summer of 2022. He plans to get his Certified Public Accountant (CPA) as well as his master’s.

“My plans after I graduate with my bachelor’s degree is to continue with my master’s and I’ll probably do an internship this summer and just go from there,” Thompson said.

Thompson explained that at the age of five, he would go out to the street and play football with his neighbors and his favorite thing about playing football is the memories that he has made.
