Trinity (CT) Bantams Football Tickets

Trinity College, located in Hartford, Connecticut, is one of the most prominent colleges in New England. However, what many people don't know is that Trinity also has a football team - the Trinity Bantams Football team.

Trinity football has been around for over a century and has a rich history of success. The Bantams have won seven NESCAC (New England Small College Athletic Conference) championships since 2002 and, in 2016, went undefeated and won the Division III National Championship. This success is even more impressive when you consider that Trinity is a small liberal arts college with an undergraduate enrollment of just over 2,000 students.

So what does Trinity Bantams Football have to do with college football? Well, despite being a Division III program, Trinity has produced several players who have gone on to play at the highest level of college football - Division I FBS.

One of the most notable examples is Johnny McEntee, who played quarterback for Trinity from 2008-2011. McEntee went undrafted in the NFL but was signed by the New York Jets as an undrafted free agent in 2012. He later spent time with the Cincinnati Bengals and the San Francisco 49ers before becoming a coach.

Another example is Spencer Trussell, who played offensive tackle at Trinity from 2015-2018. Trussell was a standout player for the Bantams, earning All-NESCAC honors three times. He then transferred to the University of Alabama, where he plays on the offensive line for the Crimson Tide.

These are just two examples, but there are many more. In fact, Trinity has produced so many talented players that several NCAA Division I coaches have visited the campus to scout potential recruits.

But why has Trinity been such a fertile ground for football talent? It likely comes down to a combination of factors, including the school's academic rigor and the quality of coaching. Trinity places a strong emphasis on academics, so players who come to the school must be able to balance their rigorous coursework with football practice and games. Additionally, Trinity's coaching staff is highly regarded and has a proven track record of developing players.

It's clear that Trinity Bantams Football is not just a successful program in its own right but also a valuable source of talent for college football programs across the country. The Bantams may not play in front of thousands of fans each week, but they are making a big impact in the world of college football.
