24 Aug 2025 501 Football Team 2025: DeAndre Trimuel – Beebe

Beebe Badgers senior defensive end DeAndre Trimuel is a force on the field, driven by a deep personal motivation as he enters his fifth year of playing football. His inspiration? “My mom,” he said. “She’s been my motivation for as long as I’ve done this.”

Last season, Trimuel started all 11 games at defensive end, racking up 51 tackles, nine tackles for loss and three sacks. 

The performance earned him All-Conference honors, but he has higher goals this year. “I need better,” he said.

“DeAndre has a big motor and gives high effort,” Head Coach Cody Sparks said. “He is physical and plays with explosiveness. I expect him to continue to advance and grow this season and take big strides to give him the opportunity to play at the next level.”

Trimuel’s favorite football memory isn’t a specific play, but a type of play that he loves to run up against. “I love seeing the pulling guard trying to hit me,” he said. “I live for those plays.”

This season, his personal goal is clear: “Not to fail my team.” The team aims for improvement by “being better than we were last year by becoming better brothers and pushing each other honestly,” he said.

Off the field, Trimuel is involved in church, helping his mom, who is a student teacher there.

“He’s a great teammate and a great young man,” Sparks said. “He keeps a positive attitude and has such a great personality. He’s never met a stranger.”
