Gerald R. "Jerry" Dalrymple (August 6, 1906 – September 25, 1962) was an American football player and coach of football and basketball in the United States. Dalrymple was All-Southern in sophomore year; All-American in his junior and senior year at Tulane University. In 1931, he was the only unanimous All-American in the country. As of 2010, he was still the only unanimous All-American from Tulane. In 1931, he was Tulane's football captain the year they went to the Rose Bowl. One article which attempts to retroactively name Heisman Trophy winners before 1934 named Dalrymple as the victor for '31.[1] Later he went to Louisiana State University where he earned a master's degree in education. He was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame as a player in 1954. As a player he wore number 33. He was nominated though not selected for an Associated Press All-Time Southeast 1920-1969 era team.[2]

Coaching career

Dalrymple was the second head football coach for Eastern New Mexico University in Portales, New Mexico and he held that position for the 1935 season. His overall coaching record at Eastern NMU was 7 wins, 4 losses, and 0 ties. This ranks him tenth at Eastern NMU in terms of total wins and second at Eastern NMU in terms of winning percentage.[3]
