Does anyone here think they can identify the man sitting front and center?

My dad and I found this photo in an antique store and think we recognized the guy in the middle with the football. At the risk of introducing bias to the conversation, we think it might be F. Scott Fitzgerald.

We know he played football, but that he wasn't a great player, so having him front and center with the ball doesn't quite add up. Our next best clue is tracking down the coaches but have had limited luck thus far.
