John Levi (American football)

John C. "Skee" Levi (June 14, 1898 – January 22, 1946) was an Arapaho Indian athlete, playing college football for the Haskell Indians. Allegedly Jim Thorpe called him the greatest athlete he'd ever seen. He then coached at his alma mater.

Levi died on January 22, 1946, at Denver General Hospital in Denver, Colorado, after he was fatally stabbed by Fannie Stabler. In May 1946, Stabler was convicted of voluntary manslaughter.
