Hall of Fame
Ralph Brinton is one of the early success stories of Dixie State football.
Brinton was named an NJCAA All-American following the 1957 season, just the second All-American from Dixie State. He played two seasons under legendary Hall of Fame coach Sark Arslanian, and played in the 1957 East-West All-American game.
A two-way player, Brinton was on the field just about every down of every game at both the defensive and offensive end positions during his time. He also served on the National Advisory Council as a student.
Following his 1957 season he had nine different full-ride scholarship offers and went on to play at Utah State for two more seasons. He met his wife Bonnie at Utah State and together they have six children and started a successful business, Ralph D. Brinton and Associates.
