he said. “It was a lot of work
to get here, and there’s still
a ton of work to be done to
improve. My first game
was a big learning curve —
and the realization that it’s
fi nally happening. Now, it’s
trying to improve for the next
game.”

Gary Marshall/Helena Independent Record
Coming from a high
school program that was
16-19 over four years — and
1-7 his senior year — college
coaches weren’t knocking
Durfey’s door down.
A 2019 Umatilla High
graduate, Durfey had a solid
portfolio coming out of high
school. He earned second-
team all-state honors at line-
backer his senior year, and
he was named the Special
District 3 Defensive Player
of the Year. He also was
selected to play in the 2019
Oregon East-West Shrine
All-Star Football Game.
Durfey also finished
fourth at the 3A state meet
his senior year in the 110
Carroll College linebacker Trent Durfey (36) and the Saints
are headed to the NAIA playoff s for the fi rst time since 2014.
They will play top-ranked Morningside on Saturday, April
17, 2021, in the fi rst round.
hurdles. He was seventh as
a junior.
Durfey first caught the
attention of Carroll College
at a 2018 summer show-
case camp at Lewis & Clark
College in Portland.
“My (high school) tape
wasn’t the best,” he said. “I
got invited to the showcase
and I knew I had to go. It was
a crazy process. That camp
was good for me to gauge my
talent, and college coaches
were watching. It’s good
when one of them comes up
to talk to you.”
Western Oregon had
a short conversation with
Durfey, but it was Carroll
College that showed genu-
ine interest.
Now that he has estab-
lished himself at Carroll
College, one of the biggest
tasks he has is explaining
to people where Umatilla is
located.
“It does feel really good to
see Umatilla on the roster,”
Durfey said. “It brings a little
pride.”

The Ducks fi nished 4-3
overall after losing to Iowa
State in the Fiesta Bowl.
Thibodeaux, who was
ESPN’s top-ranked recruit
in the 2019 class, lived up
to the hype by setting an
Oregon freshman record
with a team-high nine sacks
and 14 tackles for loss.
The Ducks finished
12-2 overall after defeat-
ing Wisconsin in the Rose
Bowl.

played a year, and then really
half a season. His best foot-
ball is still ahead of him,”
Cristobal said. “His body is
