Randall Ray Trautman (May 27, 1960 – March 1, 2014) was a professional football player, a defensive lineman in the Canadian Football League (CFL) 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.[2][3] As a true freshman, he walked on the football team at BSU under head coach Jim Criner, then in the Big Sky Conference.[4] 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.[5] He and was a two-time college football All-American in 1980 and 1981,[6][7][8] and the 1981 Big Sky Conference defensive player of the year.[9][10] During his junior season at BSU in 1980, Trautman helped lead the Broncos to the Division I-AA national championship.[9][11]
Selected in the ninth round of the 1982 NFL draft by the Washington Redskins, Trautman was cut late in training camp.[12] He soon answered a call from the Calgary Stampeders as an injury replacement for three weeks, and then was offered a three-year contract.[5] Trautman was a West Division All-Star in 1983 and 1984,[13] but knee problems soon ended his playing career.[5]
Trautman was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1999.[9][14]
