Adrian George Baril (June 4, 1898 – June 10, 1961) was an American professional football tackle and guard who played three seasons in the National Football League (NFL) for the Minneapolis Marines and Milwaukee Badgers. He played college football for the St. Thomas Cadets.
Early life
Baril was born on June 4, 1898, in Red Lake Falls, Minnesota. His high school is unknown. After high school, Baril enrolled at the College of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota, in 1919. Although he did not play varsity football as a freshman that year, he made the team in 1920 and won a starting berth at tackle, which he retained for the next three seasons. He also saw playing time at end and was described in newspapers as both a "star" and "one of the best tackles ever developed at St. Thomas." Nicknamed "Toby" and "Whooping," Baril, who measured at 5 feet 11 inches (1.80 m) and 205 pounds (93 kg), was awarded varsity letters following the 1920, 1921 and 1922 football seasons. He was named to the All-State football team following the 1921 season.
In addition to playing football at St. Thomas, Baril also participated in track and field, specializing in weight events and jumping events. He also participated in basketball and tried out for the St. Thomas baseball team as an outfielder. He graduated from St. Thomas as part of the class of 1923 with a Bachelor of Arts degree.
