Earl McCullouch
Earl R. McCullouch (born January 10, 1946) is an American former professional football wide receiver. He played college football for the USC Trojans and was selected by the Detroit Lions of the National Football League (NFL) in the first round of the 1968 NFL draft.
McCullouch was the world record holder for the 110 meter men's high hurdle sprint from July 1967 to July 1969. When attending the University of Southern California, McCullouch was a member of the USC Track & Field teams (120 yard high hurdles and 4×110 sprint relay) in 1967 and 1968. The USC Track 4×110 yard relay team, for which McCullouch ran the start leg, set the world record in 1967 that remains today, as the metric 4 × 100 m relay is now the commonly contested event.
McCullouch was born on January 10, 1946, in Clarksville, Texas. His family moved to Bakersfield, California, and then to Long Beach, where he attended Franklin Junior High School. McCullouch attended Long Beach Polytechnic High School (Poly). He tied the national high school record (held by Don Castronovo from Oceanside High School in Oceanside, New York, and Steve Caminiti from Crespi Carmelite High School in Encino, California) in the 180 yard low hurdles at 18.1 seconds. The record was never broken and the event was discontinued in regular high school competition in 1974.
He swept both the 120 yard high hurdles and the 180 low hurdles at the CIF California State Meet in 1964 (defeating Caminiti). He also tied the U.S. high school record for the 120-yard high hurdles, and had 49 consecutive victories in that season's high and low hurdles.
He played running back and safety for Poly's football team. McCullouch and teammate Marv Motley, known as "M incorporated", combined for 23 touchdowns in their senior year. McCullouch caught 10 passes for 273 yards, six of which were for touchdowns.
In 1964, McCullouch was named Co-Athlete of the Year in the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Southern Section by the Helms Athletic Foundation. He earned the award in conjunction with pole vaulter Paul Wilson. He played in the Shrine football game the summer after his graduation, rushing for 55 yards and scoring two touchdowns.
Next he attended community college and played football at Long Beach City College, playing safety, running back and flanker. McCullouch helped lead the undefeated (11–0) 1964 Long Beach Vikings football team to the Junior College National Championship, and a victory in the Junior Rose Bowl. He later transferred to the University of Southern California (USC), where he played college football under coach John McKay, who switched McCullouch to wide receiver.
McCullouch was part of USC's 1967 National Championship team. He had 28 receptions for 517 yards (18.5 yards per reception), and five touchdowns; along with four rushing attempts for 76 yards. He was one of five USC Trojans players taken in the first round of the 1968 NFL/AFL draft after his senior year ( along with Ron Yary/1st, Mike Taylor/10th, Tim Rossovich/14th, Mike Hull/16th). On January 1, 1968, the Trojans defeated Indiana University in the 1968 Rose Bowl, 14–3.
