J.D. Akard

Offensive Tackle (1949-1951)

After World War II, J.D. went to Tulsa University, in the summer of 1949, to get a college education and play football.  He came to Coffeyville in the fall of 1949 to play football for the Ravens.  After going through pre-season practice and playing in only one game, he was injured and missed the rest of the season.  He was given a medical red shirt for the 1949 season.  He played on two great teams in 1950 and 1951.  He was selected first team All-American Offensive Tackle in 1950.

He became close to Roy Misegades as he worked for him at the drive-in across from the junior high.  J.D. graduated from CJC at semester in 1952 and went to work for Mr. Bynum at Bynum’s Men's Wear, 904 Walnut, to get enough money to go on to a four-year college.  The rest is history as he worked there for 50 years, closing out this fine clothing store in 1997.  J.D has been a strong supporter of the Red Ravens football program ever since he played here.  J.D. passed away in September, 2010.
