From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dexter Wright Draper (c. 1881 – August 1961) was an American football player and coach, as well as a pediatrician. He was an All-American offensive tackle at the University of Pennsylvania from 1905-1907. Draper became head coach at the University of Texas immediately following the resignation of W. E. Metzenthin in 1909. After compiling a 4–3–1 record, including two losses to Longhorns rival Texas A&M, Draper resigned. He later coached at Franklin & Marshall College and The College of William & Mary before entering his chosen field as a doctor in pediatrics.
Draper also was the head coach for the William & Mary Tribe men's basketball team from 1913-1916.[1] He led the Tribe to a 15-18 record during his two-year tenure.[1] Draper's stint as the football coach from 1913-1915 produced a 1-21-2 record.[2]
