Timeline

1905

Glenn Emery "Press" Presnell (July 28, 1905 – September 13, 2004) was an American football player, coach, and college athletics administrator.

1925

He played college football as a halfback for the Nebraska Cornhuskers football team from 1925 to 1927.

In 1925, Presnell led Nebraska to a 14–0 victory over an Illini team that included the "Galloping Ghost", Red Grange.

As one writer put it, "all the galloping was done by Presnell this day."

1927

Presnell was selected as a first-team player on the 1927 College Football All-America Team.

After leaving Nebraska, Presnell played football for the Ironton Tanks in Ironton, Ohio.

He was a player-coach for the team and also taught science at Ironton High School.

Presnell was a halfback in Ironton's single wing offense and also played on defense at what would later be considered the safety position.

Although not officially part of the National Football League, the Tanks played against teams in the league.

1930

In 1930, Presnell led Ironton to victories over both the New York Giants and the Chicago Bears.

Against the Giants, the Tanks trailed 12-6 with three seconds left.

Presnell threw a touchdown pass to Gene Alford and then kicked the extra point to give Ironton a 13–12 victory over a Giants team that finished in second place in the NFL.

He also scored two touchdowns against the Bears, including an 88-yard run.

After the 1930 season, the Tanks folded.

1931

In 1931, Presnell joined the Portsmouth Spartans in the NFL.

1933

He set the NFL single-season scoring record in 1933 and led the league in total offense.

He had his best season in 1933, when he led the NFL in total offense with 1,296 yards.

He also broke the single-season NFL scoring record with 64 points.

Ken Strong tied with Presnell with the same point total in 1933.

During the 1933 NFL season, Presnell completed 50 of 125 passes for 774 passing yards and added 522 rushing yards on 118 carries for an average of 4.4 yards per carry.

He also kicked five field goals and 13 extra points.

He led the NFL with six rushing touchdowns and 13 successful extra point conversions.

He also finished second in the league (behind Harry Newman) in passing touchdowns, passes completed, pass attempts, and passing yards.

Following the 1933 season, Presnell was selected as a first-team All-NFL player by the NFL, the United Press, and Collyers Eye Magazine.

1934

He was the last surviving member of the Detroit Lions inaugural 1934 team and helped lead the team to its first NFL championship in 1935.

He also set an NFL record with a 54-yard field goal in 1934, a record which was not broken for 19 years.

In 1934, the owner of the Portsmouth Spartans sold the team.

The team was moved from Portsmouth, Ohio to Detroit, Michigan, and became the Detroit Lions.

When Presnell visited Detroit to sign his first contract with the Lions in 1934, team owner George A. Richards allowed Presnell to pick the team's colors.

Presnell later recalled:"'Mr. Richards, the owner, the day I was up there and signed my contract, he said: 'There's a table out there in the next office covered with uniforms. Why don't you pick out the colors you like?' I went out. My wife was with me. We saw this Honolulu blue and silver and we fell in love with it.'"

Presnell remained with the Lions from 1934 to 1936.

He combined with Dutch Clark, Ace Gutowsky, and Ernie Caddel to lead the Lions to a second-place finish in 1934.

Presnell also set an NFL record with a 54-yard field goal in 1934, a mark that was not broken until 1953.

1935

And in 1935, the same group led the Lions to their first NFL championship, culminating with a 26-7 victory over the New York Giants in the 1935 NFL Championship Game.

1936

He retired as a player after the 1936 season at age 31.

1937

Presnell worked as an assistant football coach at the University of Kansas in 1937 and then as the backfield coach at Nebraska from 1938 to 1941.
