Wallace ("Wally") Triplett (born April 18, 1926) is a former professional American football player, the first African-American to be drafted by and play for a National Football League team.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 African-Americans in Pro Football: Pioneers, Milestones and Firsts )〕 For that reason, his portrait hangs in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. ==Early life== Triplett, the son of a postal worker, was born and raised in the Philadelphia suburb of La Mott, Pennsylvania, part of Cheltenham Township. His reputation as a talented high school football player, combined with his upscale address, prompted the University of Miami to offer him a scholarship sight unseen, under the assumption Triplett was white. The then-segregated university rescinded the scholarship when they discovered Triplett was black.〔 Triplett instead earned a Senatorial Scholarship for his academics and chose to attend Penn State University in the fall of 1945.〔
