Frank G. McCormick (November 5, 1894 – March 24, 1976) was an American football player and coach. He was the first South Dakotan to play professional football. He played from 1920 to 1921 with the Akron Pros and the Cincinnati Celts of the American Professional Football Association (AFCA)—the league changed its name to the National Football League (NFL) in 1922.[1] Originally a guard, Frank was made a wingback by the Pros.[2] He won an AFPA championship with Akron in 1920.[citation needed]
Before playing professional football, McCormick played college football at the University of South Dakota. He played with the Coyotes from 1912 until 1916. In 1973, McCormick was inducted into the Coyote Sports Hall of Fame.[3]
