After watching from sidelines over next four games, took over snapping duties once again for final four games of season.
High School: Cedarburg HS, 2013 ... Earned three varsity letters playing for coach Brian Leair ... Played long snapper and center ... Helped lead team to three playoff appearances ... 2010 team finished state runner-up ... 2011 squad won conference title ... Earned high (academic) honors four years ... National Honor Society.
Personal: Full name is Trevor Ronald Stroebel ... Parents are Duey and Laura ... Duey is Wisconsin state legislator ... Born Jan. 31, 1995, in Milwaukee ...

A rare college ready body. It used to be all we got were projects and guys with "room to grow." Also, here's a guy not afraid to smile in his GT photo. I never understood why most guys try to look like it's a mug shot. I bet he's more intense on the field than the guys who look like they're at San Quentin.51

Reference to his smile brought back distant memories of best coach I ever played for. Was my junior HS coach and had played safety for the Redskins against Bronco Nagurski ( told war stories about what is was like to see him break clear). Coach told us tackle and block hard and clean. Don't say a word but give them a hand to pick them up and go do it again next play. He thought that had a psychological effect on them, left them puzzled as to "who are these guys".
