James Joseph Hogan (November 1, 1876 – March 20, 1910) was an Irish-American college football player. A member of the Yale Bulldogs football team from 1901 to 1904, he was recognized three times as a consensus All-America selection. He was posthumously elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in 1954.

Biography

Hogan was born in County Tipperary, Ireland, and moved to Torrington, Connecticut, with his family while young. He entered Phillips Exeter Academy in 1897, and was captain of the gridiron football team in 1899 and 1900.

At Yale University, Hogan played four seasons as a tackle on the football varsity, 1901–1904, and was team captain of the 1904 Bulldogs. He received All-America honors in football each season, the final three being a consensus selection.
