Gale Sayers is not correct.

Ed Harvey was the first. He graduated from the University of Kansas in 1894, about 60 years before an African-American football player was allowed on the field at the University of Missouri. Ed's brothers also attended KU and played varsity sports. One of them became a doctor, another a lawyer with a law degree from KU.
