veteran glue guy who helped Arkansas surge to an Elite Eight run
In the 2021-22 season, Trey Wade brought Arkansas a rugged, do-everything forward presence: he played in all 37 games with 24 starts, averaged 3.6 points and 2.6 rebounds, and shot 49.1% from the field while giving the Hogs switchable defense, quick hands, and serious box-out muscle. He wasn’t the flashiest scorer, but his value showed in the details—he could guard multiple positions, protect the rim in a pinch, and stabilize lineups when Arkansas went small and chaotic. If your team wants toughness, versatility, and winning-intangible energy, he’s the kind of fit coaches love.
