Contents

Early life

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.

College career

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]
