Trevor Lorenzen has had a couple of mentors in his football career, including his Kentucky football coaches. But the one I want to focus on for him is his high school football coach, Nick Brown. Nick had been at that school coaching for 10 years before Trevor got there, and originally put Trevor as an offensive lineman before he became a QB. While he was coaching Trevor, he was always extremely encouraging to the sometimes bullied boy and tried his absolute best to tell Trevor that his worth something despite his simple backwoods upbringing.
"I was born with a communication disorder that kept me from really talking for the first 14 years of my life." Nick once told Trevor after practice "but soon after my 14th birthday, I had enough and slowly but surely started learning how to talk. My voice still isn't perfect, but I can talk a hell of a lot better then I used to. So if a person like me can eventually become a successful football coach, then you can become anything you want."
Trevor now uses that as motivation for everything he does, and wants to make his high school coach proud
