Milt Trost
- Induction:
- 1999
- Class:
- 1934
A two-sport star, Milt Trost earned six letters from Marquette, three in football and three in track and field, competing in the shot put.
A defensive standout for the Hilltoppers, Trost started at tackle for three seasons and was considered one of the best linemen in Marquette history. He was a first-team All-American as both a junior and senior, and in 1934 he was named to the Associated Press All-American Team.
Legendary Temple coach Glenn "Pop" Warner also placed Trost on his All-American team, calling him the best tackle Temple had faced all season and saying that his team gained only three yards through Trost's position.
Trost started at tackle for the Chicago Bears from 1935-1939 before playing for the Philadelphia Eagles in 1940. He returned to Milwaukee in 1941, playing for the Milwaukee Chiefs and coaching high school football.
