Brynden George Trawick^[1][2] (born October 23, 1989) is an American former professional football player who was a safety in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Troy Trojans.

Trawick was born on October 23, 1989, in Marietta, Georgia. He attended Sprayberry High School in Marietta and was a three-year starter and two-time All-League and All-County selection. As a senior in 2007, recorded 69 tackles, an interception, two fumble recoveries and two blocked extra points. He totaled more than 600 all-purpose yards and four touchdowns, caught 15 passes for 195 yards, and rushed 17 times for 156 yards during his final high school season.

After originally committing to play at Michigan State, Trawick saw limited playing time in his first two years with the Spartans. He redshirted in 2008 and recorded just two tackles in 2009.

He then transferred to Northeast Mississippi Community College in December 2009 after he was suspended from Michigan State for being present at a residence hall during an incident in which several of his teammates were charged with assault.

“My heart just wasn’t in it,” Trawick said of his time as a Spartan. “I got focused on what wasn’t important, and I needed to switch it up and get refocused again.”

While at Troy, Trawick had 206 tackles, one sack, three interceptions, nine pass deflections, and one forced fumble.^[3]

Trawick’s father, George, was the head basketball coach at DeVry University in the early 1990s.^[11] He coached in the highest-scoring men’s basketball game in NCAA history, regardless of division classification. On January 12, 1992, Troy State University defeated DeVry 258–141 in a game that is considered to have established several unbreakable records.
