John Triplett "Jerry" Haxall (April 22, 1860 – July 9, 1939) was a college football player. On November 30, 1882, he kicked a 65-yard field goal from placement for a then record in the Princeton–Yale contest at the Polo Grounds. The record stood until 1976. Haxall later remarked "My epitaph will probably be: J. T. Haxall. Kicked a football. That's all."
