#82 Adam Trautman
Adam is the Elks true hometown hero and a 2015 graduate of Elk Rapids High School. After attending Dayton, he was drafted by the (NFL) Saints in 2020 and now plays tight end for the the Denver Broncos.
He and his family returned home to host the first ever NFL Youth Camp on June 26th, 2024. Camp was a major success with well over one hundred 3rd-8th graders from around Northern Michigan as well as our very own High School Players & Coaches in attendance.
Trautman was inducted in to the ERHS Hall of Fame in January of 2024 and generously gave of his time during a two-hour signing.
Camp with Trautman
Over 100 youth players were divided into 9 stations according to their ages, all which were lead by Elks Football coaches and high school players. These skills based drills allows players to build confidence and football IQ.
Players each received a camp T-shirt, sack dinner and a chance to talk with Adam at a signing. Some players that impressed with speed, strength and hard work, were rewarded with signed footballs!
This day would not have been possible without the coordination of the NFL, Trautman Family and ER Athletics as well the generous local sponsors: The Dam Shop, Village Market, Meijer, Happy Camper Coffee and Grand Traverse Pie Co.
Thank you Adam and your family for taking time to give back to our ELKS!
