Born on May 29, 1892, in Portage, Wisconsin, Earl Abell, famously nicknamed "Tuffy," established himself as a legendary figure at Colgate University. A formidable two-way tackle for the Maroon from 1912 through the 1915 season, Abell embodied the toughness and versatility of early American football. His impressive physique, standing at 5-foot-11 and weighing 204 pounds, coupled with his relentless playing style, made him a force on both offense and defense.
