Gerald Richard Dalrymple (August 6, 1906 – September 25, 1962) was an American football and basketball player and coach. Dalrymple worked odd jobs at Ouachita Junior College in Arkadelphia for three years.[1] He was a prominent end for coach Bernie Bierman's Tulane Green Wave football teams of Tulane University from 1929 to 1931.[2] During his three seasons with the team, the Green Wave posted a record of 28 wins and two losses. He wore number 33. Dalrymple was All-Southern in just his sophomore year; All-American by his junior and senior year. In 1931, a year his team went to the Rose Bowl, he was the only unanimous All-American in the country.[3] He is still the only unanimous All-American from Tulane. He was also Tulane's football captain that year. One article which attempts to retroactively name Heisman Trophy winners before 1934 named Dalrymple as the recipient for 1931.[4] He was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame as a player in 1954.[5] He was nominated though not selected for an Associated Press All-Time Southeast 1920-1969 era team.[6] He stood 5'10" and weighed 175 pounds.
Later he went to Louisiana State University where he earned a master's degree in education.
