Trent Greene begins his first year on Head Coach Jake Dickert’s staff, serving as a defensive analyst.
Greene spent the 2021 season in a defensive quality control role with the Nevada Wolfpack, where he worked under current Cougar defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Brian Ward. Greene specialized in defensive back play while with the Wolf Pack.
Prior to joining Nevada in 2021, Greene was the linebackers coach at Nolan Catholic High School in Fort Worth, Texas. He began his coaching career by spending three years (2007-19) as a graduate assistant at Syracuse University. There he worked with the linebackers, again, under Ward, who was the defensive coordinator for the Orange.
Greene was a team captain and two-time All-MAC selection at linebacker for Bowling Green. He played three seasons there and totaled 248 career tackles, including 127 in 2015 to help BGSU capture the Mid-American Conference (MAC) title in its second year under Dino Babers. The following season, Greene paced the Falcons with 111 stops and ranked fourth in the conference in tackles per game (9.3).
A 2016 nominee for the Burlsworth Trophy, awarded to the best player in college football who began his career as a walk-on, Greene earned his undergraduate degree from BGSU in December 2016. He is pursuing a master’s degree in instructional design, development and evaluation at Syracuse.
