Randy Trautman
Lua error in Module:Infobox at line 271: malformed pattern (missing ']'). Randy Trautman (May 27, 1960 – February 28, 2014) was a professional football player, a defensive lineman in the Canadian Football League for the Calgary Stampeders.[1]
Born and raised in Caldwell, Idaho, Trautman graduated from Caldwell High School in 1978 and accepted a wrestling scholarship to Boise State University. As a true freshman, he walked on the football team at BSU under head coach Jim Criner, then in the Big Sky Conference.[2] Trautman had knee injuries in high school, which curbed the interest of Division I-A football programs and he never did wrestle for the Broncos.[3] He and was a two-time college football All-American in 1980 and 1981,[4][5][6] and the 1981 Big Sky Conference defensive player of the year.[7][8] During his junior season at BSU in 1980, Trautman helped lead the Broncos to the Division I-AA national championship.[7][9]
Selected in the ninth round of the 1982 NFL Draft by the Washington Redskins, Trautman was cut late in training camp.[10] He soon answered a call from the Calgary Stampeders as an injury replacement for three weeks, and then was offered a three-year contract.[3] Trautman was a West Division All-Star in 1983 and 1984,[11] but knee problems soon ended his playing career.[3]
Trautman was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1999.[7][12]
Death
After fighting health issues over the years, Trautman died in his sleep at his cabin in Oregon on February 28, 2014, at the age of 53.[13][14]
