Trivium Prep Football Athlete Breaks State Record

Senior Benjamin Wolfley has had a stellar high school football career with the Trivium Prep Crimson Knights and has recently set a new Arizona state 2A record in rushing yards within a single season.

Wolfley was also recognized by the Arizona Cardinals as the Player of the Week for his game on October 30, 2026, against the Scottsdale Prep Spartans. He had 349 yards rushing, two interceptions, four touchdowns and a total of 486 all purpose yards. At a special assembly, former Cardinals defensive end Zach Moore and two Cardinals cheerleaders presented Wolfley with a trophy and a certificate signed by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, Arizona Cardinals Head Coach Mike LaFleur, and owner of the Arizona Cardinals, Michael Bidwill.

This is not the first time Wolfley has received this honor from the Cardinals. See last year’s feature article and video.

“I’m super grateful to have been able to set a new 2A record and to be named Cardinals Player of the Week. To me, this is a reflection of my team as a whole, not my individual efforts,” shared Wolfley. “Every player and coach has had a huge role in the record and nomination. I hope that I can start something here at Trivium that lasts for years after I graduate and establish it as a school that is able to compete always.”

According to Coach Jeremy Mager, Wolfley has put in the work to achieve these accomplishments. “Ben worked hard to get this record. He has dedicated himself for four years at Trivium. Ben is one of the best people I have gotten the privilege to coach. He is the hardest working person on and off the field. Words cannot explain how great a student – athlete he is. His teammates see how dedicated and hard working he is. He is a rare student – athlete that coaches get one out of every ten years. Proud to see him do all that he has done and getting this record is just special.”

After graduation, he will serve a two-year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and plans to play football in college upon his return.
