For Trey McKenney, this was an offseason of growth and development. It has been evidenced in his recruitment with McKenney pulling in a number of offers this summer.

McKenney is a five-star recruit according to ESPN.com, and is the No. 10 recruit in the nation according to the On3 Industry Rankings. This week, he made the ESPN 60 for the 2025 recruiting class.
The offer from Notre Dame definitely stood out to McKenney, who says it was a long time coming.
“I’ve been talking to Notre Dame for a while now,” McKenney told USA TODAY High School Sports. “I kept showing them that I’m a good player and I’m a good person.”
He is a 6-foot-4 guard from St. Mary’s (Flint, MI). He plans on taking several official visits this fall including Georgetown, Missouri, Ole Miss and Rutgers. Two future Big Ten programs, USC and UCLA, are also possibilities for official visits.
This summer, McKenney played in the Nike EYBL for The Family. He showed a versatile skillset that includes the ability to drive, penetrate, create his own shot, get to the rim and some good range to his game.

With his rise in the recruiting rankings, McKenney has seen increased attention off the court as well as on i.
“Just always being a focal point on the other team helps you grow, helps you read the game even more. Just being able to read the game took my game to a different level,” McKenney said.
“Basically (taught me) that I can push through when I’m tired and I can give my best.”
“It is definitely fun being the other guy, it is a respect thing. When you see that, I don’t back down. It fuels me. Definitely click into another level when the other team is trying to stop you.”
