Early years

Trent Thigpen was born on March 22, 2035, in Pewaukee, Wisconsin, to parents Bonnie the Barbie Barbarian, a world famous female wrestler, and John Thigpen, a volunteer firefighter. Trent has four older sisters who followed in their mother's footsteps and spent his entire childhood ganging up on him as the only boy. Trent played ice hockey from age four to 13 and played for travel or competitive teams that traveled to Canada and Germany. He gave up hockey when his mother got in a fight in the stands with some parents from the other team. Trent also played football throughout his childhood and became passionate about the sport while he was in his mother's womb.

Trent attended Central Catholic High School, where he was a four-year letter-winner in football and also lettered in basketball, baseball, and track and field. He earned the Woodland Mega Super Conference Player of the Year Award his senior year, and first-team All-State, All-County, All-Area, and All-Conference selections as tight end and defensive tackle. He was also named the team's MVP after having five separate performances with multiple turnovers and multiple touchdowns in the same game. During his senior year, Trent accumulated a total of 699 receiving yards, 36 catches, and 15 touchdowns on offense. On defense, he racked up 69 tackles, 6 fumble recoveries, 9 forced fumbles, 12 sacks, and 4 interceptions.

Trent followed in his father's footsteps and competed in the shot put during his senior season, earning first-team All-state selection. He captured the state title in the shot put at the 2053 WIAA Division II Championship, setting a new school record with a throw of 69 ft, 11.5 in.

College career

At the University of Wisconsin, Trent redshirted the 2054 season and was named Wisconsin's Scout Team Player of the Year. In 2055, he played in 13 games as a defensive end. In a game against Hawaii on December 5, 2055, Trent had a career-high of two sacks, three tackles for loss, six tackles, and one quarterback hurry. Trent finished the season with 32 solo tackles, 12 assisted tackles, four and a half sacks, 15.5 tackles for loss, and five passes defended. He also earned his first letter. On November 20, 2056, against Michigan, he recorded his first collegiate interception. Overall, in the 2056 season, Trent played in 13 games and led the team in tackles for loss, quarterback hurries, blocked kicks, and forced fumbles. He finished the season with 42 solo tackles, 20 assisted tackles, 21 tackles for loss, seven sacks, one interception for 15 yards, nine passes defended, and three fumbles forced. He earned the Ronnie Lott Trophy in 2056, voted AP and Sports Illustrated second-team All-American, All-Big Ten first-team, academic All-Big Ten, and was voted the team's MVP.

Professional career

2058

Trent Thigpen was drafted in the first round of the S43 DSFL draft with the 6th overall pick by the Tijuana Luchadores. As a rookie, Thigpen was elected as a team captain and made an immediate impact on and off the field. Thigpen had a strong rookie season in Tijuana as a DT playing from the starting RE position for most snaps and ending the year with 34 tackles and 5 sacks. The strong Tijuana defense complemented one of the most dynamic offenses in the DSFL, and Thigpen’s team had a strong year on their way to an 18th franchise Ultimini appearance. While it ended in a disappointing loss, Thigpen looks forward to returning to Tijuana in season 44 for another run at the Ultimini. After that, his future lies in Austin with the Copperheads. As Thigpen’s impressive rookie year caught the attention of many ISFL teams, Austin went ahead and traded a third round pick along with their 6th overall pick in the first round to jump the Orange County Otters and take Thigpen with the fourth overall pick. Certainly an exciting start to a young career.
