The Nebraska native covers: marriage (including a kid on the way), injury, military life after college, and the excitement surrounding the Wolfpack program entering a new season.
In his first season up at heavyweight last year, Trumble placed fourth at the NCAAs and brought home All-American honors for the first time in his career.
