Trey Jungers: Football Teaching ‘So Many Values For Everyday Life’

Newell-Fonda's Trey Jungers remains active year-round in sports. But that is exactly what you would expect from the son of a coach and someone at one of the top smaller schools in the state. Jungers, a member of the Class of 2022, will be all over the field this coming fall for Newell-Fonda. "<span style="font-size: 1rem;">I envision myself playing some quarterback, running back and wide receiver offensively," Jungers said. "Defensively, I see myself staying at free safety. I really like defensive back, so that would probably be a favorite for me at the next level. However, I have not played wide receiver in my football experience yet and I could definitely see myself enjoying that position as well."</span> Last year, Jungers ran for 376 yards and eight touchdowns, averaging almost five yards per carry for the Mustangs. He also completed 13 of 24 passes for 134 yards. On defense, he recorded 43 tackles with 31 being solo stops. Jungers also picked off seven passes and had a hand in several two-point conversion attempts. "<span style="font-size: 1rem;">Over quarantine, I have been working out with my dad and getting into the Sac Rec Center," he said. "On top of that, our team was assigned remote workouts through the app PLT4M and that has really given me a unique workout experience I hadn’t previously had. The strength and conditioning workouts normally take around 30 minutes and there would be 20-minute yoga sessions. </span> <span style="font-size: 1rem;">"The quarantine was definitely different, but I am thankful for it. It allowed me to try a lot of different workout methods and it will show who took advantage during these odd times and who didn’t. Starting July 1 we are now able to lift as a team again. That will play a big role in the preparation for next year's football season. Getting back in the weight room with the guys will be great because that’s where we work best. We work very well together and we push each other to be better each and every day.</span> "<span style="font-size: 1rem;">I am looking forward to be back on the field with the guys and every opportunity that comes with football. We stay busy and it allows us to get a lot of time with our teammates and have a lot of fun while creating some life-lasting memories. I’m excited for the preparation for the season, lifting and practicing with the guys is always great. The most excitement would have to come with that first Friday night though. Playing in front of a crowd and getting to show everyone all that work you put in. Once again, just making those memories that will last a lifetime and having fun with it."</span> As for his own recruiting, Jungers said he has yet to take any visits but "I have been contacted by coaches through camp invitations and emails." "I have not really talked to any colleges yet, I am not sure which sport I would like to play in college and I am giving myself some more time to determine what I would enjoy most at the next level," he said. "I was looking into some of the camps, but when COVID hit a majority of them were canceled or postponed to a date that would not work for me." Newell-Fonda has made 15 appearances at the state level, including a championship in 2014. "<span style="font-size: 1rem;">Being a high school football player at Newell-Fonda is an honor. It’s really easy to put your faith into a program that you know is top tier," Jungers said. "We have a fantastic coaching staff that cares about their players on a level beyond football. It’s a reassuring feeling to know you can put it all on the line and know your in good hands with our coaching staff. </span> <span style="font-size: 1rem;">"The Newell-Fonda community has a deep passion for football and sports in general, you know every night you’re out on the field the stands are gonna be packed and you are gonna have the whole community supporting your every move. </span> <span style="font-size: 1rem;">"I would say the football program is definitely preparing me to not only succeed at the game of football but in life. I’m learning so many values that will translate into my everyday life. Every player has a great bond with one another and that just makes the experience that much more enjoyable. It’s a blessing to be a part of the program for sure."</span> <div class="css-1dbjc4n r-18u37iz r-1qfoi16 r-1nwbi2h"> <div class="css-1dbjc4n r-173mn98 r-18u37iz r-1h0z5md r-6dt33c r-1oi2net r-qhyqy2 r-105ug2t"> <div class="css-18t94o4 css-1dbjc4n r-1niwhzg r-42olwf r-sdzlij r-1phboty r-rs99b7 r-1w2pmg r-1vuscfd r-53xb7h r-1ny4l3l r-mk0yit r-o7ynqc r-6416eg r-lrvibr" tabindex="0" role="button" aria-expanded="false" aria-haspopup="true" aria-label="More actions" data-focusable="true"> <div class="css-901oao r-1awozwy r-13gxpu9 r-6koalj r-18u37iz r-16y2uox r-1qd0xha r-a023e6 r-vw2c0b r-1777fci r-eljoum r-dnmrzs r-bcqeeo r-q4m81j r-qvutc0" dir="auto"></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="css-1dbjc4n r-1bymd8e r-1udh08x r-1nwbi2h"> <div class="css-1dbjc4n r-1gvt8yx"></div> <div class="css-1dbjc4n"> <div class="css-1dbjc4n"> <div class="css-1dbjc4n r-1gvt8yx"></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="css-1dbjc4n r-18u37iz r-1qfoi16 r-1nwbi2h"> <div class="css-1dbjc4n r-173mn98 r-18u37iz r-1h0z5md r-6dt33c r-1oi2net r-qhyqy2 r-105ug2t"> <div class="css-18t94o4 css-1dbjc4n r-1niwhzg r-42olwf r-sdzlij r-1phboty r-rs99b7 r-1w2pmg r-1vuscfd r-53xb7h r-1ny4l3l r-mk0yit r-o7ynqc r-6416eg r-lrvibr" tabindex="0" role="button" aria-expanded="false" aria-haspopup="true" aria-label="More actions" data-focusable="true"> <div class="css-901oao r-1awozwy r-13gxpu9 r-6koalj r-18u37iz r-16y2uox r-1qd0xha r-a023e6 r-vw2c0b r-1777fci r-eljoum r-dnmrzs r-bcqeeo r-q4m81j r-qvutc0" dir="auto"></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="css-1dbjc4n r-1bymd8e r-1udh08x r-1nwbi2h"> <div class="css-1dbjc4n r-1gvt8yx"></div> <div class="css-1dbjc4n"> <div class="css-1dbjc4n"> <div class="css-1dbjc4n r-1gvt8yx"></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="css-1dbjc4n r-18u37iz r-1qfoi16 r-1nwbi2h"> <div class="css-1dbjc4n r-173mn98 r-18u37iz r-1h0z5md r-6dt33c r-1oi2net r-qhyqy2 r-105ug2t"> <div class="css-1dbjc4n"> <div class="css-18t94o4 css-1dbjc4n r-1niwhzg r-42olwf r-sdzlij r-1phboty r-rs99b7 r-1w2pmg r-1vuscfd r-53xb7h r-1ny4l3l r-mk0yit r-o7ynqc r-6416eg r-lrvibr" tabindex="0" role="button" aria-expanded="false" aria-haspopup="true" aria-label="Add reaction" data-focusable="true"> <div class="css-901oao r-1awozwy r-13gxpu9 r-6koalj r-18u37iz r-16y2uox r-1qd0xha r-a023e6 r-vw2c0b r-1777fci r-eljoum r-dnmrzs r-bcqeeo r-q4m81j r-qvutc0" dir="auto"></div> </div> </div> <div class="css-18t94o4 css-1dbjc4n r-1niwhzg r-42olwf r-sdzlij r-1phboty r-rs99b7 r-1w2pmg r-1vuscfd r-53xb7h r-1ny4l3l r-mk0yit r-o7ynqc r-6416eg r-lrvibr" tabindex="0" role="button" aria-expanded="false" aria-haspopup="true" aria-label="More actions" data-focusable="true"> <div class="css-901oao r-1awozwy r-13gxpu9 r-6koalj r-18u37iz r-16y2uox r-1qd0xha r-a023e6 r-vw2c0b r-1777fci r-eljoum r-dnmrzs r-bcqeeo r-q4m81j r-qvutc0" dir="auto"></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="css-1dbjc4n r-1bymd8e r-1udh08x r-1nwbi2h"> <div class="css-1dbjc4n r-1gvt8yx"></div> <div class="css-1dbjc4n"> <div class="css-1dbjc4n"> <div class="css-1dbjc4n r-1gvt8yx"></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="css-1dbjc4n r-18u37iz r-1qfoi16 r-1nwbi2h"> <div class="css-1dbjc4n r-173mn98 r-18u37iz r-1h0z5md r-6dt33c r-1oi2net r-qhyqy2 r-105ug2t"> <div class="css-1dbjc4n"> <div class="css-18t94o4 css-1dbjc4n r-1niwhzg r-42olwf r-sdzlij r-1phboty r-rs99b7 r-1w2pmg r-1vuscfd r-53xb7h r-1ny4l3l r-mk0yit r-o7ynqc r-6416eg r-lrvibr" tabindex="0" role="button" aria-expanded="false" aria-haspopup="true" aria-label="Add reaction" data-focusable="true"> <div class="css-901oao r-1awozwy r-13gxpu9 r-6koalj r-18u37iz r-16y2uox r-1qd0xha r-a023e6 r-vw2c0b r-1777fci r-eljoum r-dnmrzs r-bcqeeo r-q4m81j r-qvutc0" dir="auto"></div> </div> </div> <div class="css-18t94o4 css-1dbjc4n r-1niwhzg r-42olwf r-sdzlij r-1phboty r-rs99b7 r-1w2pmg r-1vuscfd r-53xb7h r-1ny4l3l r-mk0yit r-o7ynqc r-6416eg r-lrvibr" tabindex="0" role="button" aria-expanded="false" aria-haspopup="true" aria-label="More actions" data-focusable="true"> <div class="css-901oao r-1awozwy r-13gxpu9 r-6koalj r-18u37iz r-16y2uox r-1qd0xha r-a023e6 r-vw2c0b r-1777fci r-eljoum r-dnmrzs r-bcqeeo r-q4m81j r-qvutc0" dir="auto"></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="css-1dbjc4n r-1bymd8e r-1udh08x r-1nwbi2h"> <div class="css-1dbjc4n r-1gvt8yx"></div> <div class="css-1dbjc4n"> <div class="css-1dbjc4n"> <div class="css-1dbjc4n r-1gvt8yx"></div> </div> </div> </div>
