"Brick Muller a Cal Golden Bears Wonder Team Legend"

Last updated 📅 2025-06-12

June 12, 1901 - Dunsmuir, California - Harold Muller, the two-way end of the University of California from 1920 through the 1922 season, was born.

The description of Harold in his bio on the FootballFoundation.org sounds like he was made in a football laboratory or chiselled from stone. He seemed to be built perfectly for football as the NFF says, “ Those huge, sledge-like hands could throw a football 60 yards on a line. The feet darted with deceptive swiftness. The legs were of Olympic high-jump spring. Harold "Brick" Muller was the mold of a marvelous athlete.” Muller’s soft hands could snatch a pass out of the air with ease, and he did have the legs of an Olympian, having competed and then captured an Olympic Silver Medal in the 1920 high jump.

On the collegiate gridiron, Brick never suffered a loss as part of Cal’s “Wonder Teams” under coach Andy Smith. Harold Brick Muller’s collegiate football records are celebrated in the College Football Hall of Fame after his induction in 1951.
