Thomas Everett May (March 5, 1888 – April 5, 1965) was an American military officer and athletics coach. Born in Abeline, Kansas in 1888, May moved with his family to Sherman County, Oregon, in 1900.[1] He went on to graduate from Oregon Agricultural College (now Oregon State University), where he was a member of Phi Delta Theta.[2] He played on the football team from 1910 through 1913, and the basketball team from 1912 through 1914.[3][4] May remained at OAC as assistant basketball coach and later successor to E. J. Stewart, leading the 1917 team to an 11–7 record and 4th-place finish in the Pacific Coast Conference.
Following the war, May was stationed at Clemson College (now University) as part of the ROTC staff. Reunited with coach E. J. Stewart, May served as an assistant football coach in the 1922 through 1924 seasons, and as head baseball coach in 1925.[8][9]
