Charles Truman Timmons (February 8, 1917 – March 27, 1996) was an American football fullback in the All-America Football Conference (AAFC) for the Brooklyn Dodgers. He played college football at the University of Georgia and Clemson College; as a sophomore at the 1940 Cotton Bowl, he rushed for 127 yards and scored the only touchdown in the 6–3 Clemson win.[1][2]
Timmons was selected in the nineteenth round of the 1942 NFL Draft by the Washington Redskins, but instead joined the U.S. Navy. During training, he played for the Georgia Pre-Flight Skycrackers football team.[3]
