Tyler Trent is just like any other freshman at Purdue University. He goes to class, he’s active on campus, he spends time with friends, and he cheers on the Boilermakers - camping out outside of Mackey Arena and traveling to away games.
Only Tyler does it all while battling cancer.
He grew up in Carmel, Indiana and played basketball for most of his life. The summer between his freshman and sophomore year of high school, he started to have trouble shooting the ball. He figured it was a muscular issue and it would heal with rest.
But all that changed one summer afternoon.
