A year and a half after Trufant’s retirement from pro football in April 2014, Marcus Trufant will join 24 other Cougar greats as the newest members of the Washington State Athletic Hall of Fame. It’s an honor that further solidifies the impact he made throughout his career.
Sitting on a couch in the Cougar-themed basement of his Bellevue home, Marcus Trufant cocks his head, pondering the question.

He isn’t sure, the former Wilson High, Washington State and Seattle Seahawks star says.
