Fred Brooker "Whitey" Rawl (December 9, 1904 – August 12, 1980) was a college football player and coach. He also played basketball, baseball and track. He was a prominent quarterback for coach Billy Laval's Furman Purple Hurricane of Furman University, called the "siege gun" of the Furman backfield; leading Furman to a 23–5–1 record over his tenure.

Rawl was inducted into the Furman Athletics Hall of Fame in 1982. (en)
