R-Kal K-Quan Truluck (/ˈɑːrkæl ˈtrlʌk/ ar-kal true-luck; born September 30, 1974) is a former American professional football player.

Truluck attended Spring Valley High School, where he lettered in football three times and was an all-state and all-County linebacker in his senior year. He spent his high school years growing up at the Lakeside Family & Children's Center in Rockland County, New York, a group foster home that he still visits in the offseason.

Truluck attended SUNY-Cortland, where he played in 35 career games with 27 starts. He recorded 238 tackles, 121 solo tackles, 21 sacks, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and seven passes defensed.

As sophomore, Truluck had a successful season which he recorded 64 tackles, six sacks, seven tackles-for-losses and two blocked field goal attempts in 10 games as a defensive end. Coaches thought to use more of his athletic ability so they changed his position to outside linebacker. As a junior, he started 10 games at outside linebacker and recorded 105 tackles, 6.5 sacks, five tackles-for-losses and two blocked field goal attempts. He was a Division III All-America second-team selection and named an ECAC Upstate New York All-Star. As a senior, he recorded 64 tackles, nine sacks, three tackles for loss and four blocked field goal attempts while earning second-team All-East honors. He was also named an ECAC Upstate New York All-Star in addition to being named team MVP by his teammates and coaches. Truluck graduated with a degree in health sciences.
