ADAM TRAUTMAN- Football 2015-2019
Adam Trautman was named to six different All-America teams as a senior tight end for the Flyers in 2019. Trautman came to Dayton as a quarterback in 2015, but transitioned to tight end early that season. He redshirted his first year on campus, and was named UD’s Scout Team Player of the Year while learning his new position.
A four-year starter after that, he is UD’s career record holder in receiving yards (2,295) and touchdown catches (31). Trautman also holds Flyer single-season marks for receptions (70) and TD receptions (14). He graduated as the Flyer career receptions record holder, and is now second with 178 catches. His 188 points are 19th overall at Dayton, and the most for a Flyer receiver.
The Williamsburg, Michigan. native was a three-time All-Pioneer Football League selection and was the 2019 Pioneer Football League Offensive Player of the Year. He represented UD in the 2019 Senior Bowl.
Trautman was drafted in the third round of the NFL draft by the New Orleans Saints, and he now plays for the Denver Broncos. His seven years (and counting) in the NFL tie him with Chuck Noll for the third-most NFL seasons by a Dayton graduate. Only Bob DeMarco (15 seasons) and Jim Katcavage (13) played more in the NFL.
