"Fred Dryer Quarterback Hunter"
July 6, 1946 - Hawthorne, California - Fred Dryer, who was a defensive lineman in 1967 and 1968 for San Diego State, was born.
The National Football Foundation website states that Dryer possessed great speed and the athletic prowess to evade blockers, even by hurdling and cutting inside opponents, which earned him a spot on the Little All-America team of 1968. He played in the East-West Shrine Game, the Hula Bowl, and the 1969 College All-Star Game. In 1967, San Diego State went 10-1 and beat San Francisco State in the Camellia Bowl.
In 1968, the record was 9-0-1. San Diego State's head coach was Don Coryell, but the man who recruited Dryer away from El Camino Junior College to San Diego State was the defensive coordinator, John Madden.
Fred, after college, played for the New York Football Giants and the Los Angeles Rams, a total of 13 seasons in the NFL. After his football career, he became an actor, most notably on his TV series "Hunter." Dryer was elected into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1997.
