According to a report from Tony Garcia of the Detroit Free Press , freshman guard Trey McKenney is set to be back with the Wolverines next year.

“We’re going to have a really talented team next year,” McKenney told Garcia. “I came in with a role this year and I think my role would definitely expand next year, so I’m definitely looking forward to coming back. ” McKenney joined the program this offseason as a prized five-star recruit in the Wolverines’ 2025 recruiting class.

So far he’s lived up to the billing, coming off the bench to average 9. 7 points per game, but shooting an impressive 38. 5 percent from three-point range this year.

He has already asserted himself as one of the team’s best shooters. In addition to his offensive game, he’s gotten after it on the defensive end as well and has been regularly on the floor to close games this season. We’ve seen McKenney’s role slowly grow, especially in the absence of fellow guard L.
