Adam Casad
Adam Floy Casad (June 12, 1879 – November 14, 1927) was an American football player and an officer in the United States Army.
A native of Indiana, Casad grew up in Kentucky and attended the United States Military Academy where he played at the halfback and quarterback positions for the Army Black Knights football team from 1899 to 1901. He was captain of Army's 1901 team. In announcing Casad's unanimous election as captain, ''The New York Times'' reported: "The new Captain is a short sturdily built young man. He stands high in the Class of 1902 and is a general favorite with the whole corps." In December 1901, Casad was selected by the ''New York Post'' as a second-team halfback on its 1901 College Football All-America Team.
Casad graduated from the Military Academy in June 1902. He was given his diploma by President Theodore Roosevelt, who addressed Casad by his athletic, rather than military, rank: "How do you do, Capt. Casad. I have heard of you before."
Casad thereafter served for 25 years in the United States Army, attaining the rank of colonel. He was awarded a Distinguished Service Medal for his service as Deputy Chief Ordnance Officer for the American Expeditionary Forces during World War I.〔 He died in 1927 at age 47.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Military Times )〕 He was buried at the San Francisco National Cemetery.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Find-a-Grave.com )〕
