Jeremy Triche's impact on the Mulerider Baseball program extended far beyond the statistics he produced on the field. A leader behind the plate and one of the premier catchers in NCAA Division II during his era, Triche helped establish the Muleriders as a force in the Gulf South Conference while earning recognition among the nation's best players.
Triche’s production at the plate and behind it quickly separated him as one of the most complete catchers in the region. In 111 career games, he hit .324 with 129 hits, 28 doubles, 25 home runs, and 124 RBI, posting a .583 slugging percentage and a .413 on-base percentage. Defensively, he was just as reliable, recording a .985 fielding percentage with 426 putouts and 49 assists while anchoring the Mulerider Baseball program during one of its most competitive stretches.
The 2006 season proved to be the pinnacle of Triche's collegiate career. He delivered one of the most decorated seasons ever by a Mulerider catcher, earning Rawlings/ABCA Third Team All-America honors while also collecting Rawlings/ABCA and NCBWA All-South Central Region First Team selections. At the conference level, he was named First Team All-Gulf South Conference West Division, solidifying his place among the elite players in Division II baseball.
Triche followed his All-America campaign with another strong and consistent season in 2007, once again earning First Team All-Gulf South Conference West Division honors and becoming a two-time all-conference selection. Across his career, his steady production, defensive reliability, and leadership behind the plate made him one of the most respected catchers in the league and a central figure in the Mulerider lineup.
While his on-field résumé was defined by elite recognition, Triche also left behind a career built on consistency at the highest level. In 2006 alone, he stood out nationally and regionally as a First Team All-South Central Region selection by both the ABCA and NCBWA, underscoring his impact on both sides of the game and his value as a complete catcher.
Beyond baseball, Triche's legacy carries an even deeper significance. Following his time at Southern Arkansas University, he returned to his hometown in south Louisiana and dedicated his life to serving his community as a law enforcement officer. In 2012, he was tragically killed in the line of duty, making the ultimate sacrifice while protecting others.
An All-American, multiple-time All-Region selection, and two-time All-Gulf South Conference performer, Jeremy Triche left an enduring mark on the Mulerider Baseball program. His excellence on the field and selfless service off it created a legacy that continues to inspire all who knew him and all who wear the Blue and Gold.
