California Athletics Hall of Fame
Ken Wiedemann owns one of the oldest individual school records at Cal, with his 16 career interceptions recorded from 1967-69 still atop the record book. As part of Cal’s “Bear Minimum” defense, he registered seven interceptions in 1968, which tied the Cal record at the time and wasn’t surpassed for 31 seasons, and picked off another six passes in 1967. Wiedemann also paced the Bears in punt returns as a junior, bringing back 25 kicks for 207 yards. That season, he was chosen as a first-team All-Pac-8 defensive back. In addition, he returned five interceptions for 197 yards for Cal’s freshman football team in 1966. Wiedemann was drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers out of high school, but accepted a scholarship to play football at Cal instead. Still, he suited up for the Cal baseball team in both 1967 and ’68. Wiedemann earned a Ph.D. in clinical psychology and practices in Southern California
