Trebor D. Peña (born February 21, 2002) is an American football wide receiver for the Syracuse Orange.

High School

[edit]

Pena attended Ocean Township High School in Ocean Township, Monmouth County, New Jersey.[1][2] At Ocean Township HS, Pena was a track and field All-Shore Conference first-team selection and won the javelin, long jump and 4x100 relay events during his senior season.[3][4] He had 1,550 yards rushing and 19 touchdowns during his senior season.[2][5]

Pena was a 3-star recruit per ESPN, On3 and 247Sports, while Rivals ranked him as a two-star prospect.[3][4][6] He was offered by the Air Force, Army, Navy, Albany, and Bryant, and initially committed to Temple.[1] His primary recruiter at Temple was Fran Brown, who would eventually take over head coaching position at Syracuse in 2024.[7][8]

After getting his sole power-5 offer from Dino Babers, he de-committed from Temple and joined the Orange in November 2019.[5][9]

College career

[edit]

During his true freshman season in 2020, Pena scored a 98-yard kickoff return touchdown against NC State. In 2021, he had only 67 receiving yards on two receptions.

In 2022 season, Pena played in all 13 games, totaling 22 receptions, 203 yards, 12 kick returns, 326 yards, and 21 punt returns with 182 yards.[10] Peña didn't appear in any games during the 2023 season due to an undisclosed injury.[11]

During the redshirt junior year in 2024, Pena had a breakout year catching for quarterback Kyle McCord. Primarily working as slot receiver under coach Ross Douglas, Pena became McCord's No. 1 option and excelled in shallow and deep depths of target.[8] Pena set career-highs in every receiving category, including a team-best 871 yards on 79 catches, averaging 11.0 yards/receptions.[12] He had 8 touchdowns and averaged 72.6 receiving yards per game. Along with Jackson Meeks & Oronde Gadsden II, Pena was one of the three Syracuse receivers who averaged 70+ yards per game.[13] In the first game of the season against Ohio, Peña racked up a career-high three touchdowns and tallied 92 all-purpose yards.[14] His career-high 128 yards on just six receptions came against No. 6 Miami.[15][16]

Pena was named to the Paul Hornung Award watchlist.[17]
