Gonzaga Athletic Hall of Fame
George Karamatic
- Induction:
- 1989
- Class:
- 1938
Nicknamed “Automatic’ because of his consistent placekicking and long-range punting, George Karamatic was also a bruising 190-pound fullback. Gonzaga University’s offense in his era was built around the punishing runner. His breakaway speed was evident on a 94-yard touchdown gallop against St. Mary’s in 1936. Karamatic was a two-time All-West Coast pick and earned Little All-America honors his junior season. As a senior, he was selected to the NEA All-America team and played in the East-West Shrine Game. He played with the Washington Redskins of the National Football League and with the 1940 Milwaukee Chiefs in the American Football League.
