Ralph Carlyle "Red" Maddox (September 28, 1908 - November 16, 1944) was an American college football player and U.S. Army captain.
Maddox was an All-Southern guard for the Georgia Bulldogs of the University of Georgia.[1] The other guard for the team was also nicknamed "Red" - Milton Leathers.[2] Maddox was a member of the 1929 team which defeated Yale at Sanford Stadium.[3] Former Georgia publicist Dan McGill uncovered information that indicated that Maddox had made the International News Service All-America team in 1930. However, this honor had never been recorded in Maddox's lifetime.[4] The 1931 team lost just two games. One to national champion USC and the team which USC beat in the Rose Bowl, Tulane.[5]
Maddox was a U.S. Army captain who died while serving in World War II.[4] [6]
