Easton Valley athlete Nate Trenkamp
What sport do you want to play in college?
“Basketball would definitely be my first choice to play at the next level. Basketball has always been my favorite sport and was the game I fell in love with at a very young age.

What colleges have been recruiting you?
“I have not yet been in touch with any colleges. I haven’t really put my name out there yet, and with me not playing AAU, it makes it tough. I believe if I choose to play AAU next summer, then I think some coaches may reach out to me.”
Have you made any college trips yet?
“I have not yet made any college visits. I will start taking college trips this fall and spring of my junior year.”
What camps are you going to this summer?
“For the most part, I usually attend a couple of smaller camps during the off-season and I plan do that again. I also plan on attending Snow Valley at Wartburg this July. I feel this camp would be very beneficial to my game.”
Did you have a favorite college growing up?
“My favorite college growing has always been the University of Iowa. Both of my parents grew up Hawkeye fans, so it wasn’t ever really an option for me to cheer for anyone else. I have also followed Duke basketball very close and been a fan of them.”
