One of his favorite memories from Malvern was his time
Malvern is forever engraved in his mind and heart as if he’s attended since Middle School. Trey grew up in Springfield, PA, and had a group of friends that always talked about going to school and playing football together. A mentor of his encouraged him to think about what life could be like at Malvern Prep. “My mom let me make that decision as a freshman but she interjected and said ‘I think you should go to Malvern because I think it will set you on the path that you want to go.’ Looking back, I realize it was one of the greatest decisions I’ve ever made,” he shared.

The emphasis that Malvern places on giving back to the community is extremely important to Womack. “I think that’s why Malvern continues to shape young boys into young men at the end of the day because there are so many opportunities just to give back from a societal standpoint,” he shares.
