Elmo Alvin "Tuffy" Maul (June 20, 1902 – March 16, 1974) was an American professional football player who played for one season, in 1926, as a fullback in the National Football League (NFL) with the Los Angeles Buccaneers.
Maul was born on June 20, 1902, in Fresno, California. He attended Fresno High School, where played as a fullback in football and a third baseman in baseball. He also ran hurdles for the track team.[1] Maul subsequently played football at Saint Mary's College High School in Berkeley, California and High School of Commerce in San Francisco.[2] He then played on the freshmen football team at University of California, Berkeley, but was ruled ineligible from competing further in college football because he had played at the semi-pro level. He was given his nickname, "Tuffy", by his cousin, Crip Toomey, who starred for the California Golden Bears football team. Maul died on March 16, 1974.[1]
