In this special ESPN Week episode, Brock sits down with former UC Davis running back Trever Facey—a player whose story, heart, and resilience run far deeper than anything that happened on the field.

Trever shares his journey from small-town Northern California to the UC Davis backfield, his tight bonds with legends like Ulonzo Gilliam, Lan Larison, PJ Dixon, and Jeremiah Chukwudobe, and how the running back room shaped him as both an athlete and a man.

But this conversation goes beyond football.

Trever opens up about the loss of his father, the profound grief he walked through, and the healing and hope he’s found in the years since. He and Brock revisit their 24-hour one-day documentary shoot—returning to the exact place his father passed—and reflect on faith, legacy, and the belief that life is worth living, even in the darkest seasons.

The episode also hits on:

  • Trever’s path as an ICU nurse at Vanderbilt Medical Center

  • His dream of becoming a CRNA (and his goal to attend UC Davis’ new program)

  • The parallels between football and critical-care nursing

  • Why relationships, mentorship, and community matter

  • The possibility of UC Davis making a playoff run all the way to… Nashville

  • And yes—Turkey Bowl highlights, hamstring pulls, and staying “young” in the mid-20s

This is one of the most emotional and meaningful conversations of our season. If you or someone you love is struggling with grief, loss, or thoughts of suicide, Trever reminds listeners they are not alone and that hope is real.
