Kyle Trask
View on Grokipediafrom Grokipedia
Kyle Trask (born March 6, 1998) is an American football quarterback who played college football for the Florida Gators and was selected by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the second round (64th overall) of the 2021 NFL Draft.[1][2] After serving as a backup for four seasons, including behind Tom Brady and Baker Mayfield, Trask was released by the Buccaneers on August 26, 2025, and has since remained an unsigned free agent.[3][4]
Trask grew up in Manvel, Texas, where he attended Manvel High School and served as the backup quarterback to future NFL player D'Eriq King, accumulating 1,820 passing yards and 17 touchdowns over his high school career.[5] He walked on at the University of Florida and redshirted his first two years.[6] His breakout came in 2019 as the Gators' starter, leading them to an 11-2 record, and in 2020, he set school single-season records with 4,283 passing yards and 43 touchdowns, earning SEC Offensive Player of the Year honors and finishing as a Heisman Trophy finalist.[7][6]
In the NFL, Trask spent his first four seasons primarily as the Buccaneers' third-string quarterback with limited regular-season action, appearing in one game in 2022 and completing 3 of 9 passes for 23 yards.[2] Viewed early as a potential long-term successor to Tom Brady, Trask re-signed with Tampa Bay on a one-year deal in March 2025 but was waived during final roster cuts in August due to a crowded quarterback room featuring Baker Mayfield and veteran backup Teddy Bridgewater.[8][9] Following his release, Trask worked out with the Indianapolis Colts in October 2025 but has not signed with a new team as of November 2025.[10]
Trask has not recorded any fumbles in regular season play. In the 2025 preseason, prior to his release, he appeared in three games for the Buccaneers, completing 50 of 69 passes for 452 yards with 3 touchdowns and 0 interceptions, while rushing 5 times for 10 yards and 0 touchdowns—numbers that highlighted his potential but did not translate to a regular season roster spot.[56]
Early life and high school
Early life
Kyle Trask was born on March 6, 1998, in Manvel, Texas, a small town south of Houston with a population of around 3,800 at the time.[11] He grew up in a family deeply connected to Texas traditions, including a strong affinity for Texas A&M University, where both of his parents, Michael Trask and Mellissa Charba, attended and graduated. Trask's name was inspired by Kyle Field, the iconic stadium on the Texas A&M campus, reflecting his parents' fandom and the cultural significance of Aggie football in their household.[12] Trask's family has a rich football heritage, particularly through his paternal grandfather, Orville Trask, who played as a defensive tackle and served as team captain for the Houston Oilers during their American Football League championship wins in 1960 and 1961. Orville's professional success and passion for the game profoundly influenced young Kyle, who often heard stories of his grandfather's career and drew inspiration from that legacy to pursue football from an early age. This familial connection to the sport instilled a sense of discipline and commitment in Trask, shaping his foundational approach to athletics.[13] His mother, Mellissa Charba, played a pivotal role in grounding Trask's upbringing, working in human resources and emphasizing values of humility, resilience, and family loyalty amid the potential distractions of sports. Charba, a lifelong Manvel resident, fostered an environment that balanced ambition with personal integrity, ensuring Trask remained composed and family-oriented. Complementing this, Trask achieved the rank of Eagle Scout in his youth, earning all 21 required merit badges and leading a community service project as his final requirement, which highlighted his dedication to leadership, outdoor skills, and civic involvement beyond football.[14][11][15]High school career
Trask attended Manvel High School in Manvel, Texas, where he played football for the Mavericks.[16] He spent most of his high school career as the backup quarterback, primarily behind D'Eriq King during his first three years.[17][18] In his senior year of 2015, Trask saw limited playing time as the backup.[11] Over his high school career, Trask passed for 1,820 yards and 17 touchdowns while leading Manvel to an 11–2 season and the regional finals of the playoffs, where the team lost to Katy.[5][19] Despite his contributions, Trask was initially overlooked by major college programs as a two-star recruit.[20] He received scholarship offers from Florida as well as smaller programs including Houston Baptist, Lamar, and McNeese State.[21] On July 26, 2015, Trask committed to the University of Florida, choosing the SEC program over the other offers to pursue higher-level competition.[22][23]College career
2016–2018
Trask enrolled at the University of Florida in 2016 as a true freshman and redshirted the season, seeing no game action while focusing on acclimating to the college level and learning the Gators' offensive scheme behind quarterbacks Luke Del Rio, Austin Appleby, and Feleipe Franks. His high school tenure as a backup had prepared him for this patient role, emphasizing a team-oriented approach over immediate playing time.[7] The 2017 season brought challenges for Trask, who suffered a broken foot during fall camp, sidelining him for the entire year and limiting his participation to non-playing contributions like film study and practice reps.[24] Despite the injury setback, he continued to develop within the program, building relationships with teammates and coaches during a period of transition for the quarterback position. As a redshirt sophomore in 2018, Trask returned healthy to serve as the primary backup to Franks, appearing in four games and completing 14 of 22 passes for 162 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions.[6] His limited snaps came in blowout situations, allowing him to gain valuable experience adjusting to the speed and complexity of SEC defenses. Later in the season, Trask suffered another foot injury during practice, ending his playing time. Throughout 2016–2018, Trask prioritized academic integration alongside his football development, earning his undergraduate degree from the University of Florida and beginning coursework toward a master's in sport management by the end of the period.[7] This time as a reserve fostered his growth as a professional-minded athlete, honing leadership skills through mentorship roles and team meetings.2019
Trask entered the 2019 season as the backup quarterback to Feleipe Franks for the Florida Gators.[6] In Week 3 against Kentucky on September 14, Franks suffered a season-ending dislocated right ankle injury late in the third quarter during a fourth-down rush attempt.[25] Trask relieved Franks with Florida trailing 21-10 and orchestrated three touchdown drives in the fourth quarter, completing 11 of 15 passes for 114 yards and a touchdown to secure a 29-21 comeback victory.[26] Trask assumed the starting role for the remainder of the season, marking his first significant playing time after three years as a backup that had built his resilience and preparation habits.[17] In 10 starts, he completed 237 of 354 passes for 2,941 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 7 interceptions, achieving a 156.1 passer rating that ranked among the top in the SEC.[27] His efficient, high-volume passing attack represented a marked improvement for Florida's offense, which averaged 30.5 points per game during his starts compared to 24.0 in the first two games with Franks.[28] During the October 5 game against Auburn, Trask sustained a sprained left knee on a low hit midway through the second quarter but returned before halftime and threw for 310 yards and three touchdowns in a 24-13 win.[29] He progressed well in recovery over the following week, missing no further action and starting the next game at LSU on October 12.[30] The injury tested Trask's toughness but reinforced his mindset shift from patient understudy to confident leader, fueling optimism for a dominant 2020 campaign.[31] Under Trask's direction, Florida finished the regular season 10-2 overall and 6-2 in SEC play before defeating Virginia 36-28 in the Orange Bowl.[32] His contributions helped elevate the Gators' passing game from 21st in the SEC in 2018 to 6th in 2019, setting the stage for further offensive growth.2020
In 2020, Kyle Trask entered his senior season at the University of Florida fully recovered from a knee injury that had occurred midway through the previous season, allowing him to serve as the full-time starting quarterback in a COVID-19-shortened schedule.[33] He appeared in all 12 games, completing 301 of 437 passes for 4,283 yards, 43 touchdowns, and 8 interceptions, while adding 50 rushing yards.[27] These figures set a Florida single-season record for passing touchdowns, surpassing Danny Wuerffel's previous mark of 39 from 1996, and tied Wuerffel for third in SEC history; Trask also led the Southeastern Conference in passing touchdowns and ranked first nationally in that category, along with passing yards per game (356.9) and total offense per game (361.6).[6][27] Trask's performance propelled the Florida Gators to an 8-4 overall record, including an 8-2 mark in SEC play, and a berth in the Cotton Bowl Classic, where they fell 55-20 to Oklahoma.[34] His efficiency and volume passing were instrumental in powering one of the nation's most explosive offenses, with the Gators ranking third in FBS in scoring offense (43.0 points per game).[34] Trask earned national recognition as a Heisman Trophy finalist, finishing fourth in the voting behind Alabama's DeVonta Smith, Clemson's Trevor Lawrence, and Alabama's Mac Jones.[35] He was also a semifinalist for the Maxwell Award (outstanding player) and the Davey O'Brien Award (top quarterback).[36] Amid his breakout campaign, Trask generated significant pre-draft buzz as a top quarterback prospect for the 2021 NFL Draft, projected by ESPN as the sixth-best QB in his class due to his accuracy, pocket presence, and decision-making.[37] However, scouts noted concerns about his arm strength, particularly on deep throws and in tight windows, which sometimes led to floated passes despite offseason improvements.[33]Passing

Professional career
2021 NFL draft
Trask entered the 2021 NFL Draft process hampered by an ankle injury that prevented his participation in the Senior Bowl, where he had initially committed to play. Instead, he focused on Florida's pro day on March 31, 2021, where he measured 6 feet 5 inches tall and 236 pounds, and posted a 40-yard dash time of 5.10 seconds, a 31.5-inch vertical jump, and a 113-inch broad jump. During the throwing session, Trask demonstrated above-average arm strength and accuracy on deep balls, impressing scouts with his pocket presence and ability to make throws from various angles, though his limited mobility—highlighted by the subpar 40 time—drew critiques for potentially restricting his effectiveness in modern NFL offenses that emphasize quarterback athleticism.[38][39][40] Pre-draft evaluations positioned Trask as a mid-round prospect, often projected in the second or third round, buoyed by his breakout 2020 college season in which he threw for 4,283 yards and 43 touchdowns, but tempered by concerns over his lack of elite arm talent relative to top quarterback peers and below-average mobility. Analysts praised his mental processing and toughness as a pocket passer but noted his struggles in extending plays outside the structure, leading to a consensus ranking around the 71st overall pick.[41][42][43] The Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected Trask in the second round with the 64th overall pick, viewing him as a potential long-term successor to aging starter Tom Brady. The team used its original draft position without trading up, adding the Florida quarterback to provide depth and future stability behind Brady and backup Blaine Gabbert. Following the draft, Trask signed a four-year rookie contract worth $5,535,337, including a $1,385,700 signing bonus and fully guaranteed at signing.[44][45][46]Tampa Bay Buccaneers tenure
Trask joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as a second-round selection (64th overall) in the 2021 NFL draft, positioning him as the long-term successor to veteran quarterback Tom Brady.[16] As a rookie, he spent the entire regular season as Brady's backup without entering a game, though he gained experience in three preseason contests, completing just 29% of his passes for limited yards.[47] The following year, 2022, Trask remained in the backup role behind Brady and made his NFL debut in Week 18 against the Atlanta Falcons, going 3-for-9 for 23 yards in relief.[48] His preseason performance improved slightly, with a 43% completion rate across three appearances.[47] In 2023, Trask transitioned to backing up Baker Mayfield after Brady's retirement, appearing in two regular-season games but logging minimal snaps—completing 0 of 1 pass for 0 yards in Week 12 at the Indianapolis Colts and rushing once for -1 yard in Week 10 against the Tennessee Titans.[49] He showed more promise in the preseason, starting one of three games and completing 20 of 44 attempts for 218 yards and 1 touchdown. The 2024 season followed a similar pattern, with Trask serving as Mayfield's primary backup and appearing in four regular-season games, completing 1 of 1 pass for 5 yards, though he started two preseason games and posted a 65.1% completion rate on 41 of 63 passes for 393 yards, 3 touchdowns, and 1 interception.[50][51] During the 2025 offseason, Trask re-signed with the Buccaneers on a one-year contract worth approximately $2.8 million on March 14, securing his spot in the quarterback room.[8] He participated in three preseason games, starting two and achieving a 28% completion rate overall, highlighted by a strong showing in the finale against the Buffalo Bills where he went 13-for-17 for 93 yards and 1 touchdown.[47] Throughout his tenure, Trask benefited from the guidance of offensive coordinators Dave Canales in 2023 and Liam Coen in 2024, who emphasized footwork and decision-making, while absorbing lessons on preparation and leadership from mentors like Brady and Mayfield.[52] This development focused on adapting to multiple offensive schemes, though his opportunities remained confined to backup duties and exhibition play.[53]2025 release and aftermath
On August 26, 2025, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers released quarterback Kyle Trask following the preseason, citing depth chart competition where veteran Teddy Bridgewater secured the backup role behind starter Baker Mayfield.[4][9] Entering free agency as an unrestricted agent, Trask participated in a tryout with the Indianapolis Colts on October 14, 2025, amid their search for quarterback depth after an injury to backup Anthony Richardson, but no contract was signed.[10][54] As of November 18, 2025, Trask remains an unsigned free agent actively seeking opportunities, reflecting positively on his five-year tenure with the Buccaneers where he gained experience learning from multiple quarterbacks including Tom Brady, Jameis Winston, and Mayfield, as well as working under coaches like Bruce Arians and Todd Bowles, which he believes positions him well for future backup roles.[1][55]Career statistics
