John William "Bill" Guckeyson (; date of birth unknown – May 21, 1944) was an American athlete and military aviator. He was the first University of Maryland football player selected in the NFL Draft. Guckeyson was killed in combat as a fighter pilot during the Second World War.〔 ==Early life and college career== Guckeyson was born in Chevy Chase, Maryland and graduated from Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School in 1933. While there, he played basketball, soccer, and competed in track & field. In 1932, at the Maryland state track meet, he set the state shot put record at 50 feet (15 meters), which stood for 28 years. There, it is reported that Guckeyson also won the 100-yard dash event with a recorded time of 10.2 seconds. He was the captain of the basketball team for two years and the varsity soccer team for three years. Despite his high school not having a football team at the time, Guckeyson was awarded a football scholarship to attend Maryland based upon his soccer-playing ability.〔(A Social History of Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School 1925–1980 ), Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School, retrieved 22 December 2008.〕 He attended college at the University of Maryland where he played football, basketball, and baseball, and ran track. In these athletic fields, Guckeyson compiled nine letters during his four years at Maryland. He set the school javelin throw record at 204 ft, 5 in (62.22 meters). In both 1935 and 1936, he was named an All-Southern Conference football player and an honorable-mention All-American.〔〔(Traditions ), University of Maryland Terrapins Official Athletic Site, retrieved 22 December 2008.〕〔(All-Time Honors ) (PDF), ''2007 Football Media Guide'', p. 161, University of Maryland Terrapins, 2007, retrieved 22 December 2008.〕 Frank Dobson—who coached football for forty years at Georgia, Clemson, South Carolina, Richmond, and Maryland—said Guckeyson was the best athlete he had known.〔David Ungrady, (''Tales from the Maryland Terrapins'' ), p. 58, Sports Publishing LLC, 2003, ISBN 1-58261-688-4.〕 During his senior year, Guckeyson was elected class president.〔
