Biographical History

William Marshall Hollenback was born in 1886 in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania and attended Phillipsburg High School prior to matriculating to the University of Pennsylvania in 1904. While at the University of Pennsylvania, Hollenback starred on the varsity football team. Hollenback, who was known as "Big Bill," also served as captain of the undefeated 1908 team, the last Penn squad to be recognized as National Champion. Following his graduation in 1908 with a degree in Dentistry, Hollenback was head football coach at Penn State (1909, 1911-1914), the University of Missouri (1910), Pennsylvania Military College (1915) and Syracuse University (1916). He also served as advisory football coach at the United States Naval Academy and the University of Pennsylvania (1919, 1921). In 1951, he was elected to the National Football Hall of Fame.
