Danny Hrapmann (Football, 2009-11)
One of the greatest special teamers in Golden Eagle history, Hrapmann earned the admiration of the country for his 2010 season as he collected All-Conference USA First Team honors and First Team All-American honors from the Walter Camp Foundation, joining Ray Guy as the only other player to do so in program history. Hrapmann also received Second Team honors from CBSSports.com and was a finalist for the Lou Groza Award. He twice received the Groza Award's 'Star of the Week' for his performances against East Carolina and Tulane, as well as the C-USA Special Teams Player of the Week following the East Carolina game.

As a senior, Hrapmann converted 26 of his 30 field goal attempts, an 86.7 percent rate, and all 51 of his PATs. Effective from almost any range, he was 8-of-9 on attempts under 29 yards, a perfect 10-of-10 from 30-38 yards and 6-of-8 from 40 or more yards. His efforts ranked him first on the Golden Eagles' season charts in kicking points (129), field goals made (26) and extra points (51). Tied nationally for field goals per game with 2.17 and finished fifth in the country in scoring, averaging 10.75 points per contest. Led Conference USA with an 86.7 field goal percentage and tied for first with a 100 percent PAT percentage. Career-best 17-consecutive field goals over the 2009 and 2010 seasons. Against East Carolina, he established a school record with five made field goals. His career-long stands at 54 yards against UAB, although he successfully connected on a 59 yarder against Houston that was negated by a timeout. In 2010, Hrapmann made at least one field goal in every game and made at least two in nine.

As the leader of the kickoff unit, Hrapmann averaged 63.1 yards per kickoff on 88 attempts, including six touchbacks. He also punted five times for an average of 43.0 yards with a long of 55. Again against East Carolina, he ran for 19 yards on a fake punt for a fourth down conversion.

In his first full season with the Golden Eagles, Hrapmann played in all 13 games and handled all kickoff duties and took over place kicking and field goals against Houston on Oct. 31, 2009. His 75 kickoffs averaged 60.3 yards per kick with five touchbacks. The Redshirt-Sophomore finished the year 2-of-5 on field goal attempts and 14-of-18 in PATs. Hrapmann was also a two-time member of the Athletic Director's Honor Roll.

Hrapmann signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers after the 2012 NFL Draft as an undrafted free agent, spending the 2012 and 2013 seasons on the practice squad. He moved to the Miami Dolphin's organization for the 2014 before retiring from professional football.
