American football player (born 1961)
American football player
Casey James Tiumalu (born June 19, 1961)[1] is an American former professional football player who was a running back for the Los Angeles Rams in the National Football League (NFL). He played one season for the Rams in 1987 . He played college football for the BYU Cougars , where he was a two-time all-conference selection in the Western Athletic Conference (WAC).
High school career
[ edit ]
Tiumalu was a three-year letterman on the varsity football team at Helix High School in La Mesa, California , and earned All-California Interscholastic Federation honors as a senior.[2] He led Helix to a 17–10 win over San Pasqual in the 1978 CIF championship.[3] Tiumalu scored all but two of the Highlanders' 17 points, running for two touchdowns and kicking a 38-yard field goal , which was the longest in the history of the finals.[4] He finished with 160 yards rushing on 14 carries after only rushing twice for six yards in the first half.[5]
College career
[ edit ]
Tiumalu wanted to attend the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa out of high school, but the school did not pursue him after initially expressing interest.[6] Undersized and not highly recruited ,[7] he attended Grossmont College in El Cajon, California , where he was team captain and its most valuable player , while also earning junior college All-American honors.[2]
After transferring to Brigham Young University , Tiumalu led the Cougars in rushing in each of his two seasons.[2] While he originally wanted to go to a program that ran the ball, he said that BYU's pass -oriented offense "[got] the ball to me enough here". Previously, Cougars' running backs were often relegated to being blockers .[3] Tiumalu ran for 661 yards on 119 carries as a junior in 1982 ,[2] when he was named to the All-WAC second team.[8] In his senior year in 1983 , he earned first-team all-conference honors,[9] and was named an honorable mention All-American by the Associated Press .[10] He rushed 139 times for 851 yards, including four games with over 100 yards. He also had a team-leading 60 receptions as the outlet man for quarterback Steve Young .[2] Tiumalu was named WAC Offensive Player of the Week after gaining 170 all-purpose yards to help lead BYU to a 24–6 win over Colorado State , which clinched an eighth straight WAC title for the Cougars. He had 15 carries for 107 yards and had eight catches for another 63 yards.[11]
Professional career
[ edit ]
Despite his success at BYU, Tiumalu's 5-foot-8-inch (1.73 m ) stature precluded him from receiving any minicamp invites from NFL teams.[12] He had a brief tryout in the United States Football League (USFL) with the Los Angeles Express ,[13] who selected him in the 14th round of the 1984 USFL Draft .[14] He then signed with the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League ,[13] but tore cartilage in his knee during the 1984 preseason and underwent surgery.[15] Estimated to be sidelined for six weeks,[15] he was released by the Roughriders.[16] Tiumalu played for the Los Angeles Rams in 1987 , joining as a replacement player during the NFL strike that season .[17]
Personal life
[ edit ]
Tiumalu's son Casey Jr. played football as a defensive lineman at Helix and later Vista High .[18]
Tiumalu was a cousin of NFL linebacker Junior Seau .[19]
