DDN: Wright State star Calvin staying with Raiders for final season

Trey Calvin roars

Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News

Wright State may have endured a disappointing season for the first time in seven years under coach Scott Nagy, but the program received some news Monday that has 2023-24 looking much more promising.

Raider star Trey Calvin, after saying he was exploring his options with his fifth season of eligibility, announced on Twitter: “Loyalty is the first law of God. Let’s run it back one more time Raider Nation! #keepgoin1″

Reached by phone, the first-team All-Horizon League pick said: “It was a pretty easy decision. I never really thought about leaving. Obviously, I’m confident enough that whatever I want to do professionally, I can get that done playing here.”

After losing all-league players Grant Basile and Tanner Holden to major-college schools after last season, there probably was some dread around the program that Calvin would do likewise. He certainly has high-major skills.

But the suspense ended the way his coaches and teammates had hoped.

“We’re happy he put that out there and let people know this is where he’s going to be. He’s very loyal and comfortable here,” Nagy said.
