Mike Hull (linebacker)
Michael Thomas Hull (born May 25, 1991) is a former American football linebacker. He played college football at Penn State. He was signed by the Miami Dolphins as an undrafted free agent in 2015. Early life Born in 1991 to Tom and Donna Hull in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, Hull was drawn to football early in his life. His father played at Penn State from 1971 until 1973, and also played professionally; he was Mike's first coach. In high school, Hull played running back and linebacker at Canon-McMillan, excelling on both sides of the football. Although he drew interest from schools including Ohio State and Michigan, Hull committed to his father's alma mater, Penn State, in 2008. In addition to football, Hull excelled in wrestling, track and baseball. He was a top wrestler in high school, and despite having separated his shoulder in an all-star football game a month prior, he clinched the victory for his team in the final bout of the 2010 WPIAL championship match. In track & field, Hull posted a personal-best time of 11.56 seconds in the 100-meter dash at the 2010 PIAA District 7 AAA Championships. He also threw the shot put, notching a top-throw of 12.88
