Before UMass: Was a four-year letterwinner at Penn State, helping the team to a 72-55 record during his time in Happy Valley, including a No. 6 seed in the Big Ten Tournament and ranked No. 35 in the final NCAA NET Rankings in 2019-20 prior to the COVID-19 pandemic ... Appeared in 79 career games, including 25 games during the 2020-21 campaign ... As a senior this season, shot nearly 40% from the floor and averaged more than 13 minutes off the bench ... His best night of the season came against Minnesota when he scored 13 points on 4-of-7 shooting (3-of-6 from three) and tying a season-best seven rebounds in just 14 minutes on March 3.

Coach McCall on Trent Buttick: "We're very excited to welcome Trent to our program in 2021-22. Trent brings significant size and strength to our roster, along with the ability to stretch the floor and a tenacity under the bucket that will greatly benefit our team. Having played four seasons in the Big Ten, he will be able to pull from his experience facing some of the top players in the country when going against the talented bigs in the Atlantic 10. Trent is a high character kid. We're confident that the way he conducts himself on and off the floor will rub off on his teammates. We're looking forward to having Trent join our program."
