Trautman has been receiving NFL Draft buzz all season. Earlier this season, he became Dayton's all-time leading receiver. This season, he has 52 catches for 688 yards and 11 touchdowns.

According to UD, Trautman will be the first Flyer to play in the Senior Bowl since 1972. The five Flyers who have played in the game are: tight end Fred Dugan (1958); linebacker Email Karas (1959); center Bob DeMarco (1961); center Leo Dillon (1971); and running back Gary Kosins (1972).
