Wolf was a two-sport letterwinner at Prairie View A&M from 1970-74 as he played football in addition serving as a weight thrower on the track & field team. 

A 1972 team tri-captain and a UPI All-Texas First Team member while playing defensive line, Wolf was a 16th round pick by the Miami Dolphins in the 1974 NFL Draft.  Wolf also spent time with the Washington Redskins, Baltimore Colts and the Birmingham Vulcans of the World Football League.

Once his playing career came to a close, Wolf entered the law enforcement profession and became a well-respected country sheriff in East Texas.  Wolf made history as the first African-American sheriff of Tyler County (Texas) and held that position until his retirement.
