Trey Wedig Not Rushing Into Recruitment

2020 Kettle Moraine (Wis.) offensive lineman Trey Wedig‍ wanted to challenge himself over the weekend as he made the trip to Canton (Ohio) to compete at The Opening regional. 

“I feel like I did pretty well,” stated Wedig. “I learned a lot of stuff today, especially with the two offensive line guys coaching us. 

“I learned about where your hands should be and where your hands should be held.” 

The 6-foot-6, 283-pounder faces some stiff competition in Wisconsin, but the chance to go against new competition was a big reason he made the trip to Ohio.

“At our school, our defensive line is pretty big,” said Wedig. “It’s good to go against different people who have different strengths and weaknesses to see how I match up.”

The three-star prospect made a trip to South Bend on April 21st and came away with an offer from Notre Dame. Wedig also enjoyed seeing the sights and sounds of the campus.  

“Every offer is a good feeling,” explained Wedig. “Notre Dame is pretty special and felt really good.

“I really like Notre Dame, and the campus is beautiful. It’s Coach (Jeff) Quinn’s first year, so I want to see how he handles the line this year and in years to come.” 

Quinn made sure to get to know the Wisconsin native, and he made a big impression, but Wedig still wants to see how Quinn does in his first season as the Irish offensive line coach.

“He seemed like a great guy,” stated Wedig. “He knew his stuff. Other schools like Wisconsin have Coach Rudolph, who has been there for years. This is Coach Quinn’s first year, so I’m not going to jump and hurry into this.” 

Quinn’s message was for Wedig to enjoy his time in high school and to not rush into anything, which is something the Kettle Moraine standout resonated with.during his visit. 

“It was more about that I’m still in high school and to focus on that,” said Wedig of his conversation with Quinn. “We just kind of chatted about that.”
