All new Husky Talk with Julius Trenches , AKA Julius Williams, a former UConn Football versatile Defensive forces who was an outstanding pass rusher. Coming all the way from Georgia, his story is one of dedication, perseverance, and desire. Excited we connected and I was mesmerized listening to his story.
From a family of 5 kids, Julias played on season as a youngster before being thrown to the wolves as a varsity player in 8th grade. He played at one of the smaller schools in Decatur, Georgia and was playing both ways early on. He saw action as a Tight End, Linebacker, before dominating as a Defensive End his senior year.
Unfortunately, he tore his ACL and missed significant playing time but performed well at camps he attended the summer going into his senior season. Julius was being recruited by schools in the SEC and ACC before his ACL injury, he remembered coach Vinny Marino always called, never stopped recruiting him. On his visit in January, he met with coach Randy Edsall and committed to be a Husky.
Hear is story as he started out as a Middle Linebacker, played as a freshmen and credits coach Todd Orlando, Alfred Fincher for teaching him the game on another level. After another ACL injury his sophomore year, he redshirted. Julius told me he watched more film on my good friend Uyi Osunde, which helped him become a dynamic force as a pass rusher.
Logging 15 sacks, he could dominate offensive tackles in pass protection. Also, one a share of our first Big East Championship, played in the Meinke Car Care Bowl, Papa Johns Bowl, and left victorious defeating Buffalo in the International Bowl in Toronto.
He played professionally for many years in the NFL, CFL, UFL, and AFL before being ready for the next chapter of his life. He started Trench Mob which runs camps all over the country, working with offensive defensive linemen.
