Maybe & maybe not: Flank trauma more likely to show red blood cells in urine, as indication of kidney injury underneath. Small protein can appear with volume status--if mildly dehydrated or if first morning pee, or after workout (or perhaps getting body slammed on pavement over handlebars...). Should get well-hydrated re-check in a few days to be sure all ok.

Timeline: It depends on the timeline, if it was months ago then probably not. Either way, i would not worry about trace protein in a 25 year old, i would just recheck it and see how it progressed.
