David Ayres Collings Jr.^[a] (November 4, 1901 – December 8, 1982) was an American college football player. He played four seasons with the Georgia Bulldogs, 1919–1922.^[1]

Biography

Collings was born in Atlanta in 1901.^[2] He attended Boys High School there,^[3] and played on the football team.^[4]

Collings was a four-year letterman, 1919–1922, for the Georgia Bulldogs.^[5] He was primarily a halfback and punter, and was part of the team's "ten second backfield"^[b] in 1920. He made a 40-yard drop kick against South Carolina that season,^[7] and in the 7–0 defeat of Furman, a punting duel between Collings and Milton McManaway featured throughout.^[8] In 1922, Collings started the game against Vanderbilt at quarterback.^[9] In recounting his senior season, Georgia's yearbook listed him as an end and quarterback,^[10]^: 301 and noted that he "rounded out his four years as a varsity back in a bright red cloak of glory."^[10]^: 309 He was a member of Chi Phi fraternity.^[10]^: 163

In 1924, sportswriter Morgan Blake included Collings as one of the two halfbacks in his selection of the greatest football players from Atlanta.^[11]

As of November 1933, Collings was a district manager for The Coca-Cola Company,^[12] and he was still employed by the company as of February 1942.^[2] He apparently spent several years in the late 1930s living in Dallas.^[13] Collings died in December 1982.^[14]

Notes

^ His middle name appears in some sources as "Ayers".
^ The term "ten second backfield" generally refers to players capable (or thought to be capable) of running a 100-yard dash in 10 seconds—that is, fast runners.^[6]
