Harold Neve "Buddy" Jungmichel (October 18, 1919 – August 28, 1982), sometimes spelled Jungmichael, was an American football guard and coach.
Jungmichel was born in Gonzales, Texas, in 1919 and attended Thorndale High School in Thorndale, Texas.[1] He played college football at Kilgore Junior College in 1937 and 1938,[2] and then for the Texas Longhorns from 1939 to 1941.[3]
Jungmichel was selected by the New York Giants in the 15th round (138th overall pick) of the 1942 NFL Draft.[1] Jungmichel never joined the Giants, instead entering the Navy where he played on a Navy football team in San Diego.[3]
He played in for the Miami Seahawks in the All-America Football Conference in 1946. He appeared in 14 professional football games, 13 of them as a starter.[1] He was selected by both the United Press and the AAFC as a second-team guard on the 1946 All-AAFC football team.[4][5]
The Miami Seahawks disbanded after the 1946 season, and in 1947, Jungmichel accepted a position as an assistant football coach with the Texas Longhorns. He served as the freshman coach from 1947 to 1949.[2] He later became a line coach. He left the Texas coaching staff in 1954 to go into the insurance business.[6]
He died in 1982 in Austin, Texas.[7]
