Albert Russell Aukerman (August 11, 1873 – January 8, 1960)[1] was an early professional football player-coach for the Latrobe Athletic Association.
He was also an accomplished track athlete for Gettysburg, running the 100- and 200-meter relays and also participating in the long jump.
Auckerman then left school to become a physical instructor at the Latrobe A.A., and was subsequently picked to be the team's first head coach in 1895.
Aukerman also played pro football for the Duquesne Country and Athletic Club for two games in 1895 at Exposition Park.
Aukerman was elected into the Gettysburg College Hall of Athletic Honor in 1990.
