Rick Devereux

The awards for recent Newport Harbor High graduate Trevor Theriot

kept piling up his senior year.

To that heap he can add one more: the Newport Harbor Male Athlete

of the Year.

Theriot, nicknamed “Moose,” was one of 12 finalists for the

Wendy’s National High School Heisman award after being named the

state winner. He was recently named the Sea View League Male Athlete

of the Year.

He helped lead the Sailors to the CIF Southern Section Division VI

football final, finishing with 1,328 rushing yards and seven

touchdowns on 222 carries.

He was named Newport-Mesa football Player of the Year, CIF

Division VI Co-Offensive Player of the Year, Sea View League Co-Most

Valuable Player, as well as being named to the public school All-Star

team in the Shrine game and a South representative in the Orange

County All-Star game.

He garnered Defensive Player of the Game honors in the Shrine game

after he intercepted and broke up passes and recovered a fumble.

He will be a preferred walk-on for UCLA in the fall.

Theriot also performed well for the Sailors in the throwing ring

for the boys track and field team.

He finished fourth in the Division II shot put with a throw of 55

feet, 9 inches. He was second at the Orange County championships as

well as the league finals with a toss of 55-7. Theriot also finished

third in the Irvine invitational (49-5) and second in the Eagle

Invite (48-10).
