Trevor Wikre joined the Maverick coaching staff in the spring of 2022 as the co-offensive coordinator and offensive line coach. He was most recently at Linfield University as the offensive line coach where he helped guide them to an undefeated regular season and a trip to the NCAA Division III quarterfinals.
Wikre was also the offensive line coach at the University of Northern Colorado from the spring of 2014 to the fall of 2019.
He was at Adams State in 2012 and 2013 and while there, the Grizzlies posted back-to-back school records in rushing for a season and he had two players named to the RMAC All-Conference team. In 2012, Adams State went 9-2, the program's best record since the school joined the Division II ranks.
Wikre is originally from Longmont, Colo., and attended Berthoud High School, where he was an All-State lineman as well as an All-Conference pick and state qualifier in wrestling and a letterman in baseball.
After Berthoud, Wikre attended Colorado Mesa, where he played defensive tackle his first two years and moved to offensive guard his final two seasons. He was an all-conference selection as a junior and senior, adding All-American honors in his final year. He graduated in 2009 with a bachelor’s degree in both physical education and adaptive physical education.
Wikre moved to the coaching ranks in 2009, spending three seasons at Colorado State, the first as a quality control defensive assistant and the other two as a defensive graduate assistant. During that time, he completed his master’s degree in education.
His name is well known around the collegiate ranks as midway through his senior season he suffered a compound dislocation of his finger that caused ligament damage. Doctors told him the damage would prevent his return to the gridiron, but in order to preserve his career, Wikre chose to have his finger amputated. He missed just one game for the Mavericks, returning for the final five games of the year. His story was told around the country, including articles in Sports Illustrated, People, New York Times, USA Today, Sunday NFL Countdown and ESPN Magazine. He also had a guest appearance on ESPN’s First Take with Mike and Mike In The Morning.
Wikre lives in Grand Junction with his wife Traci, their son Jack and their daughter Zoe.
