(Tupelo, MS) How do you
become the leading kicker in the American Indoor Football
Association? Well, the Mississippi MudCats’ kicker,
Trey Crum, will give all of his success to God and his
childhood soccer career.
Trey is a Mississippi Native; he attended
Terry High School in Jackson. He started playing soccer
when he was 4 years old and started playing select soccer
when he
was 11 for 5 years. When he was a Junior in High School
he set a record for the most goals scored in a season.
He attended Hinds Community College for 2 years, where
he was an All State Selection and went on to Delta State
University to play football as
a kicker and had 2 All American Seasons. His Conference
Records include most points in a game and the most field
goals in a game; at Delta State he still holds the record
for most points scored in a season, where he had 111 Points
in 11 games!
Trey now lives in Tupelo with his wife
of 2 ½ years, Rachael and attends Good News Church
in Tupelo. He was also a Youth Pastor for a year and has
been very involved with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes
for 4 years.
Trey has consistently been an accurate
kicker for the MudCats 2008 season and has
produced 10 UNO Kicks, which is when the kicker kicks
through the uprights on his kickoff and the team receives
1 point. He has completed 40 of 48 Extra Points, which
is 83% and completed 7 of his 14 Field Goal Kicks, with
some of his kicks being 53 yards long. He is also the
number 2 point scorer for the MudCats with 71 points in
6 games.
“He is the top kicker in the AIFA
league,” said Defensive Coordinator / Assistant
Head Coach Gary Patterson, “Trey has an Arena 1
leg on him and will be a success playing at the next level
without any problem.”
