University of Minnesota men’s basketball head coach Ben Johnson has announced that Trey Edmonds (Aurora, Colo.) will join the Golden Gopher program for the 2024-25 season. Edmonds, who is transferring to Minnesota from UTSA, has one year of eligibility remaining.
I’m excited about adding Trey to our program,” head coach Ben Johnson said. “Trey’s a first-class young man from a great family. We got to see firsthand the type of player Trey is, his best basketball is ahead of him and that’s exciting. I love his ability to make impactful plays both offensively and defensively. Trey has a passion for development and winning. He’s excited about growing as a player and being part of a successful program.”
Edmonds, a 6-foot, 10-inch forward/center, played one season at UTSA after a two-year stint at Utah Tech.
