Lincoln Lutheran’s Trenton Ernst Trenton Ernst 5'9" | 140 lbs | WR/DB Lincoln Lutheran | 2026 State NE is a player who I believe should be receiving more looks after two seasons of solid production for the Warriors. As a junior, Trenton stood out as a two-way star, recording 53 receptions, 691 yards, three receiving touchdowns, a passing touchdown, 30 tackles, and five interceptions. I don’t have a full tape from Trenton’s junior year, but from what I saw in clips and from previous seasons, he is a twitchy receiver who can attack all levels of the field. Despite being considered “undersized” by some recruiting standards, it’s hard to deny his feel for the game and natural playmaking ability. He runs good routes where he nails the details with precise footwork and sharp breaks. Ernst is someone you can rely on to move the chains in a tight spot and find creative ways to use him in the offense. Defensively, he is a very “heads-up” player who does a great job reading the QB and can attack the ball in the air to force turnovers. Look for the Warriors to bounce back in 2025 with Trenton playing a major role.
