As a standout offensive tackle, Ted Albrecht earned Associated Press first team All-America honors in 1976 and went on to become a first round draft choice of the Chicago Bears. He was named first team All-Pac-8 in 1975 and ’76. Albrecht played with Joe Roth, Chuck Muncie and Wesley Walker in ’75 on one of the greatest offensive teams in Cal history. He helped the ’75 team to a Pac-8 Co-Championship while setting a Cal modern record for most points in a season (330, since broken). The ’75 team led the NCAA in yards gained (5,044) with a perfect balance between the run and the pass (2,522 each). Albrecht played five seasons as a starter with the Chicago Bears, helping running back Walter Payton to the all-time NFL rushing record.
