Trent
DiGiuro was from Goshen, Kentucky and earned all-district honors
at South Oldham High School. He enrolled at the University of
Kentucky as a walk-on offensive lineman in 1991. Through hard
work and perseverance, he began earning playing time in 1993
as the Wildcats advanced to the Peach Bowl. In the off-season,
he posted the best bench press on the team and he finished 1994
spring practice as the starting right guard. Trent earned a
place on the 1993 Southeastern Conference Academic Honor Roll.
He epitomized the work ethic required to excel not only in sports,
but in life. Trent DiGiuro was shot and killed as he sat on
his front porch, three days shy of his 21st birthday, on July
17, 1994. The Trent DiGiuro Foundation is dedicated to keeping
Trent's memory alive.
