Dick Butkus Award and Jack Lambert Trophy as a senior. Alberts was inducted to the College Football Hall of Fame in 2015.[2]

Following his collegiate success, Alberts played in the

1994 NFL Draft. His career would only last three seasons, however, due to injuries. Alberts pursued a broadcasting career before serving as the athletic director at the University of Nebraska Omaha
from 2009 to 2021. In 2021, he returned to his alma mater's flagship campus in Lincoln to become its athletic director before being hired for the same position at Texas A&M in 2024.

Early years

Alberts was born in Cedar Falls, Iowa.[1][3] He has a brother and sister.[1] Trev Alberts attended Northern University High School in Cedar Falls,[4] where he played for the Northern University Panthers high school football team.

Career

College

While attending the University of Nebraska, he played for the

Dick Butkus Award and Jack Lambert Trophy as the top college linebacker; Alberts was also recognized as a consensus first-team All-American, after recording 15 quarterback sacks, 21 tackles for loss, and 38 quarterback hurries. Despite an injury early in the eleventh game of the season against the Oklahoma Sooners, Alberts returned with a cast on his arm for the national championship game against Florida State in the Orange Bowl. Although the Seminoles won 18–16, Alberts had a dominant performance with three sacks of Heisman Trophy-winner Charlie Ward
(FSU quarterbacks were sacked only five times during the 1993 regular season).

Administrative career

Omaha

Alberts was hired in April 2009 to be the director of athletics for the

Nebraska–Omaha Mavericks sports program at the University of Nebraska-Omaha.[9]

I believe the potential for UNO's athletic programs is unlimited. This new chapter in my life will be exciting for me and for my family. I had an amazing experience as a college athlete. For several years now, I’ve wanted to return to college athletics and give something back. This position at UNO is a privilege.[9]
—Alberts upon assuming the UNO job
