Entered 2007-08 as a member of a four member recruiting class for Marquette; the others are Scott Christopherson and Patrick Hazel. Mbakwe selected Marquette despite receiving offers from Iowa State and Minnesota.

In November, 2007, Trevor suffered a knee injury that forced surgery. He initially decided to redshirt in 2007-08, but surprisingly returned against Pitt late in the season. He had three years remaining with Marquette starting in 2008-09, but elected to transfer the day before the 2008-09 school year began.

*According to a story written at The DoubleA Zone, the real source of the delay for Mbakwe's eligibility determination started with the fact that he didn't submit his eligibility request until September 4th, even though classes started August 22nd.
