Troy Bienemann attended St. Francis High School in Mountain View, California where he played football and basketball. Troy played defensive end and tight end at Mountain View, totaling 60 tackles and 2 sacks as a junior, on his way to first team all-league honors. As a senior he finished with 72 tackles and 1 sack on defense while racking up 27 receptions for 313 yards on offense. He was named first team all-league, all-mid peninsula, and all-metro for his performance as a senior. He was considered to be one of the top tight end prospects on the west coast, accepting a scholarship to play at Washington State. He earned a starting position just prior to the start of his true freshman season. He finished the season with 15 catches for 233 yards and 1 touchdown, despite missing two games with a pinched nerve. As a sophomore he had a career high 29 receptions for 273 yards and 2 touchdowns, on his way to second team all-pac ten honors. He was also named first team academic all-pac ten for his accomplishments in the classroom. As a junior, Bienemann finished with 26 receptions for 288 yards and 2 touchdowns. He was named first team academic all-pac ten for the second consecutive year. Bienemann had a setback as a senior, tearing the ACL in his left knee while catching a touchdown in a 34-31 loss to Oregon. He finished the season with 24 receptions for 278 yards and a career high 3 touchdowns prior to the injury.

Troy Bienemann has a good deal of experience, having started at tight end for Washington State since his true freshman season in 2002. He has good size for a tight end with the frame to get bigger. He does a good job of catching the ball with his hands away from his body and is a very good short to intermediate range target. He lacks the speed to make many plays down the field. He has been a decent blocker but he still could improve in that area. He would benefit from hitting the weight room and increasing his strength to become more of a factor in the running game. Durability could be a cause for concern as he has had minor injuries that have caused him to miss some time. He also had a torn ACL in his left knee that prematurely ended his senior season. He also served as the long snapper at Washington State and could be valuable in that role at the professional level. Troy Bienemann does have some upside and could be a late round draft pick as a backup tight end/long snapper on draft day.
