Ohio State head coach Jake Diebler has Buckeyes battling for five-star SG Trey McKenney
INDIANAPOLIS – Flint (Mich.) St. Mary’s five-star shooting guard Trey McKenney is the No. 1 prospect in the state of Michigan in the 2025 class, according to the On3 Industry Rankings, but that has not stopped Ohio State head coach Jake Diebler from recruiting McKenney as a priority prospect.
McKenney, the No. 12 overall player in the 2025 class according to the On3 Industry Rankings, was first offered by the Buckeyes in June of 2022, and two weeks ago Diebler re-affirmed his scholarship offer to Ohio State.
“[Diebler] was my main recruiter when [Chris] Holtmann was there so the relationship has pretty much been there since I’ve been in high school,” McKenney told Lettermen Row. “So just re-affirming my offer and knowing that they’re still interested in me heavily.”
McKenney has already built a bond with Diebler, and he is starting to develop a relationship with assistant head coach Jamall Walker, who watched McKenney last weekend at EYBL session III in Indianapolis.
“It’s pretty good,” McKenney said. “I went down there for a team camp a couple years ago, but the relationship is still there. They’re contacting me, [Diebler] and Coach Walker, so I feel close to them.”
McKenney has a genuine interest in Ohio State and knows a lot about the program despite growing up in the state of Michigan.
“I have an interest in them,” he said. “With them being close, I’ve been watching them since they’re in the Big Ten so I’ve been watching them most of my life.”
The 6-foot-4, 205-pound McKenney is averaging 13.8 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.0 assist per game on the Nike EYBL circuit this spring. McKenney was also named the Gatorade State High School Player of the Year in Michigan after leading St. Mary’s to a MHSAA Division 1 state title.
