Steelers Remember Darrell Hogan, Extend Sympathy to Trinity University After Coach’s Family Loss

The Pittsburgh Steelers offer their heartfelt condolences to Trinity University’s Offensive Coordinator and the entire Trinity football family after the devastating loss of his daughter Kellyanne in the Texas floods.

This tragedy has touched every corner of the football world—but it resonates even more deeply within the Steelers Nation, thanks to the bond forged decades ago by legendary linebacker and guard Darrell Hogan.

A proud Trinity Tiger from 1947 to 1948, Darrell Hogan became a Pittsburgh Steeler from 1949 to 1953, earning All-Pro honors in his very first NFL season.

Today, as we mourn with Trinity University’s Offensive Coordinator, we remember Darrell Hogan’s trailblazing path and the proud history that connects our teams.
The Steelers organization extends not only our condolences, but also our gratitude for the generations of leadership, courage, and sportsmanship that have come from Trinity University—starting with Hogan and continuing to this day.

In this moment of loss, the Steelers family stands with Trinity, honoring the contributions of all who wear the maroon and white, just as we honor the black and gold.
“We are more than a team—we are a community, built on tradition, compassion, and strength through adversity,” said a Steelers representative. “From Darrell Hogan’s days on our field to the coaches shaping young lives today, the bond endures.”

To Trinity University’s Offensive Coordinator and his loved ones:
We are with you. We thank you for your dedication to the game and to your family. And we draw inspiration from both your resilience and the legacy left by those who paved the way—from Hogan to today’s heroes.
