Here is the full press release via MGoBlue:

"Trey embodies everything it means to be a Michigan Man," said May. "He comes from a family of strong faith and high character. He has been taught how to play the game the right way and values competition. His versatility as a big, strong guard is going to be a tremendous asset to our program."

Currently ranked No. 16 as a five-star recruit by ESPN, McKenney is the highest-rated in-state prospect in the 2025 class and a frontrunner for Michigan's Mr. Basketball. As a junior, he led Orchard Lake St. Mary's to a 27-1 record, winning the Division 1 State Championship. In the championship game, he had 32 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in a 63-52 win. During the season, he averaged 22.8 points, 10.1 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game, taking home the 2024 Michigan Associated Press Division 1 Basketball Player of the Year award for the second straight year.

As a sophomore, McKenney averaged 25.5 points and 11.1 rebounds per game, and was named the MLive Metro Detroit Player of the Year in addition to the AP's honors.

In 2024, McKenney was named to the USA Men's U18 National Team to compete in the FIBA U18 AmeriCup. At the tournament, he helped lead Team USA to a gold medal, averaging a team second-best 10.8 points per game, in addition to 5.3 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.3 steals.
