"The Philadelphia Union is devastated by the heartbreaking passing of Holden Trent," the Union said in a statement. "While he was a wonderful player and fierce competitor, he was more importantly a devoted son, brother, fiancé and teammate who made those around him better. He embodied the true meaning of determination, dedication and perseverance, and he will be deeply missed.
"We extend our greatest sympathies to his family, his fiance and his friends."
Philadelphia selected Trent out of High Point University with the 28th overall pick in the 2023 MLS SuperDraft.
