The Trench Trophy: Honoring the Unsung Heroes of Football Since 2003

The Trench Trophy, established in 2003, is an esteemed award recognizing high school football players in the Western New York area who predominantly play the positions of offensive and defensive linemen. Founded by Len Kuhn, Carl Kuras, and Victor Rizzi, the Trench Trophy was created to shine a spotlight on these often-overlooked athletes whose contributions are vital to their teams' success.

Our Mission and Impact

The Trench Trophy aims to promote sportsmanship, civic responsibility, and scholastic effort among athletes. By acknowledging the hard work and dedication of linemen, the award not only provides recognition but also creates opportunities for these players to be discovered by local, regional, and national intercollegiate football programs. This recognition can pave the way for scholarships and further opportunities in their academic and athletic careers.

Celebrating Our Winners

Over the years, many Trench Trophy winners have gone on to achieve remarkable success in college and professional football. These athletes exemplify the discipline, teamwork, and selflessness that the award aims to promote. Their journeys from high school fields in Western New York to collegiate grounds and professional stadiums stand as a testament to the importance of the Trench Trophy in recognizing and nurturing football talent.
