Stephan Wadiak (January 8, 1926 – March 9, 1952), nicknamed "The Cadillac", was an American football running back. He was a star college football player for the South Carolina Gamecocks, being named the Southern Conference Player of the Year in 1950. He was selected in the third round (30th overall) of the 1952 NFL draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers, but was killed in a car crash before his first season. Wadiak's number is retired by the school, having been the first to receive the honor.[1] [2]
