Trinity linebacker leads the team onto the field prior to the first round NCAA Division 3 playoff game against Hardin-Simmons Saturday, Nov. 19, 2022, at Trinity Stadium in San Antonio, Texas.In a city with three college football teams combining for a 30-3 record, it’s easy to overlook the historic campaign Jerheme Urban and his staff have put together at Trinity.
“We wouldn’t be here without the guys from years’ past,” Urban said. “We had some guys take a chance on a young coach with very, very, very little coaching experience. Our facilities were really lacking in the early years, but they were willing to sign up for a vision and come in and do the things necessary to get that degree and set the course for a better football program down the road. We wouldn’t be here without those guys beforehand.
“I just kinda sit back and laugh when I hear people talking about ‘Oh, well it doesn’t seem like things have clicked this year compared to last year,’” Urban said. “We had a national player of the year finalist at quarterback. Completed almost 70 percent of the passes we threw last year, we had incredible top-to-bottom production from the quarterback position and from the receivers last year, which led to people doing a lot of different things to us this year.
Last year’s SAA Defensive Player of the Year, Caleb Harmel, has anchored the defense from the linebacker position with 67 tackles and 1.5 sacks, in addition to two interceptions. He and fellow linebacker James Ogunrin took up two of the four available linebacker spots on the all-conference first team this year, while cornerback Trey King and defensive lineman Harris Good also earned first-team recognition.
The Cru enter Saturday’s matchup ranked No. 3 in the nation, with a top-5 offense scoring 45.4 points per contest. Trinity’s stout defensive front, ranked No. 5 in the country with just under 55 rushing yards allowed per game, will square off against UMHB’s ground attack that’s produced more than 215 yards per outing.
“They’re not the reigning national champs for nothing,” Urban said. “They have insane athletes at all their skill positions. They have I think pretty much an all-senior offensive line that’s been playing together. They know their scheme, they do their scheme well, and they’re going to try to force it down your throats running the ball and then they’re going to try to stretch you deep throwing it. And they’ve got a very good quarterback as well.
