Nearly 15 Bishop O'Connell alumni are playing college football of various classifications. None had a bigger weekend that Jermey Trimble (O'Connell '04).
Trimble is the starting junior wide receiver for Army. He recorded two touchdowns in the Black Knights’ 62-7 drubbing of VMI.
Trimble caught a 15-yard scoring strike and also took a 76 yard punt return "to the house".
On the season, Trimble, the eldest son of O'Connell Head Coach Steve Trimble, has two other scores as well.
After 2 1/2 seasons of college football, Trimble has recorded 10 total touchdowns (eight offensive and two via punt returns).
At O'Connell, Trimble played football for his father and also played varsity basketball for Joe Wootten. Trimble's two younger brothers both play for O'Connell this season.
O'Connell's last appearance in the WCAC football playoffs was when senior QB Bush Hamdan and Trimble teamed up together in the fall of 2003.
