Football career

Player

Trocolor played college football for the Long Island Blackbirds before transferring to play for the Alabama Crimson Tide. He then went undrafted in 1942 but eventually landed a spot with the National Football League's New York Giants, where he played for two seasons as a substitute quarterback, punt returner and halfback. In 1944, Trocolor was traded to the Brooklyn Tigers and played in two games. The team would fold and Trocolor did not get picked up by another team, thus ending his professional football career after three seasons.

Coach

In 1974, Trocolor became the third head football coach in William Paterson University Pioneers football program history. He served for just one year and compiled a 2–7 overall record (1–4 conference).
