Mike Gruttadauria - Football (1991-94) - Class of 2004
Mike Gruttadauria was a four-year starter at center for UCF from 1991-94 and is widely considered the best center to ever play for UCF. He was named to the Orlando Sentinel's 25th Anniversary UCF Football Team.
After graduation, Gruttadauria signed with the Dallas Cowboys as a free agent and later was picked up by the St. Louis Rams after being released by the Cowboys. He would then forge a seven-year NFL career that spanned his first four seasons with the Rams and the final three through 2002 with the Arizona Cardinals, (starting 66 of 81 games) before having his career cut short due to injury.
His NFL career was highlighted with a starting center role on the Rams' 2000 Super Bowl championship team. He was the first from UCF to win a Super Bowl ring.
