Recruited as a wide receiver, Trent made a smooth adjustment to the defensive backfield, earning five starting assignments and Freshman All-American honors in his first year with the varsity in 2005.

The opposition attempted 250 passes vs. Trent, as he allowed 105 receptions for 1,036 yards and four touchdowns. He held his opponents to a 42.0 pass completion percentage, as his main pass coverage assignments averaged 9.87 yards per pass completion and 4.14 yards per pass attempt vs. the cornerback.

Max Emfinger rated him the fifth-best prep receiver in the country, while Super Prep ranked him 21st at that position.

Trent ranked second on The Detroit News Blue Chip list and was the third-best receiver by The Lansing State Journal. The two-time Oakland County Dream Team selection was also a Detroit Free Press All-North first-team, honorable mention All-State and honorable mention Best of the Midwest pick as a senior. He earned Eccentric All-Area and All-Catholic League accolades in his final year and was an All-State honorable mention by The Detroit News as a junior.

Opponents completed just 35.14 percent of the passes targeted into his area, as he was in on a total of 14 third-down stops.

As a sophomore, Trent underwent midseason surgery to repair a broken bone in his left hand. He would start 11-of-12 games, collecting 45 tackles (40 solo) with two stops for losses. Because of his hand injury, he could only deflect three passes and pick off another. 21 of his plays involved third-down stops, as the opposition averaged 11.14 yards on 35 pass completions into his area.

Trent took over left cornerback duties from a departed Leon Hall as a junior. He was a second-team All-Big Ten Conference choice, as he limited the opponents to a 31.76 pass completion percentage and just 3.07 yards per attempt, on 85 passes targeted into his territory. He registered a career-high 10 pass deflections and picked off another throw. He also made 41 tackles (32 solo) with two stops behind the line of scrimmage, as he was involved in 23 third-down stops.

In 2008, Trent started all 12 games, but the entire team struggled, failing to make the bowl season. He recorded 41 tackles (28 solo) with three interceptions and a pair of pass deflections. He saw his main pass coverage assignments catch 30-of-52 balls thrown to them (57.69%) for 294 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

Positives: Good height for the position. Uses his long arms to break up passes in front of the receiver. Secure tackler in the open. Good cut tackler and can get off receiver blocks. Effective reading the quarterback in zone coverage to get involved in the play. Has the size and vertical to fight for balls in the air. Stays with receivers heading down the sideline, maintaining inside position.

Negatives: A bit thin in the hips. Lacks change-of-direction ability, struggling to stay with quicker receivers inside. Doesn't get his hands on the receiver at the line often enough. A bit choppy and upright in his backpedal, which can cause him problems transitioning on out routes. Lacks the strength to cause turnovers and has questionable hands.

Purdue … The Boilermakers literally "threw" everything they had at the Wolverines, opening with a four-receiver formation, but whether it was covering Dorien Bryant, Selwyn Lymon, Greg Orton or Desmond Tardy, Trent more than lived up to his coaches' request - take out the hot receiver.

Florida (Capital One Bowl) … Trent's exploits send departing head coach Lloyd Carr into retirement with a 41-35 victory, as the left cornerback was more than up to the challenge of taking on the Gators' spread offense and multiple receiver formations. He might have made just two solo tackles and one pass deflection, but he showed speed that could rival Superman's, when he chased down the equally quick slotback, Percy Harvin, on the Gator's long second quarter run, only to have Trent hit his opponent with such force, that Harvin had to be helped off the field.
