College career
Troen played his first year at Fresno State as a true freshman albeit as part of the pass-rush rotation rather than a starter while the Bulldogs went 8-4 and played in the Kentucky Chicken/In-n-Out double-double Down Bowl, held in Phoenix, Arizona on December 27th, 2032. The Bulldogs won despite Troen's lackluster play as he had only one tackle and slipped to allow a 22 yard run in the second quarter. Troen's sophomore campaign started out reasonably well until the third game of the season where a poor landing after getting tripped by an opposing guard resulted in breaking both of his hands. Troen missed the next week with the injury but returned in the fifth week of the season with both hands in club-like casts. Despite this impediment, Troen helped lead the Bulldogs to a 62-28 victory over the USC Trojans with a performance including an improbable interception that Troen returned for a touchdown. From that point on, Troen produced sacks at a higher rate which he attributed to the casts, stating in a interview with ESPN, "I know it's weird, but I think breaking my hands was just what I needed to make the next step here in the NCAA. I might have to keep the casts on even after my hands are healed!" Most[citation needed] fans assumed the statement was hyperbole but Troen did in fact return with the casts in 2034 for his junior season. That season proved to be his best yet, and he legally changed his named to Troen Egghands in the offseason to honor the nickname his teammates had come up with. His senior year stats weren't quite as good but he was part of an impressive Fresno team that made the college BCS playoffs but lost to the eventual winner, Washington University in St. Louis. He graduated with a degree in economics and is expected to be drafted in the 2036 DSFL draft. In a pre-draft interview, he confirmed his plans to continue playing with the casts, saying "I don't want to mess with something that's both my signature and helping me produce at a high level."
