Trent Carrade brings interior pass-rush juice to UC Davis
Carrade looks like a useful **FCS interior defender** for UC Davis: in the 2025 season he started 13 games and finished with **26 tackles, 4.0 sacks, 5.5 tackles for loss, 2 pass breakups, and a forced fumble**, with SI noting he is a productive pass-rusher who should be one of the Aggies’ top interior pieces again in 2026.[2][7] He stands out for disruptive first-step quickness and playmaking from the defensive line, though evaluators also note he still needs to get more consistent in his **run fits**; he also played through a **broken wrist** during the season, which speaks to toughness and competitiveness.[7][9]
