Bethlehem Bulldogs (1949 AFL IV)^^Miami Herald’s Luther Evans: “Ghaul was the only Miami football player recruited out of a pro football training camp.” A HS-dropout who spent 2 training camps with NFL teams & stints with at least 3 semi-pro teams, along with a year of active military service, Ghaul was recruited to the U by then-NFL Pro (& future-Hurricane Asst. Coach) Walt Kichefski, who played in the Steelers’ 1944 Training Camp with Ghaul. At the ripe old age of 24, Ghaul resumed his “amateur” football career in Coral Gables in 1945 as a WWII-eligible Freshman — with his previous exploits with the pros apparently never mentioned in public until 1972, the year he was admitted to the UM HOF – just weeks before his untimely demise that April at 50 years old. |
