John Riegel DeWitt (October 29, 1881 – July 28, 1930) was an American athlete, including a legendary college football player. As a track and field athlete, DeWitt competed mainly in the hammer throw.[1] He competed for the United States in the 1904 Summer Olympics held in St. Louis in the hammer throw where he won the silver medal.[2]

He was also a prominent guard and kicker for the Princeton Tigers football team.[3] In an attempt to name retroactive Heisman Trophy winners, Dewitt was awarded it for 1903.[4] Walter Camp placed him on an all-time All-America team.[5] One writer calls him Princeton's greatest football player.[6] He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1954.[7]
