Philip Hogan Seymour (December 17, 1947 - June 5, 2013) was an American football player. He played college football as a defensive end at the University of Michigan from 1967 to 1970 and was selected as a first-team All-Big Ten Conference player in both 1968 and 1970. He was also named an Academic All-American in 1970
Seymour was born in 1947 and grew up in Berkley, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit. He attended Salesian High School in Detroit. His cousins, Paul Seymour and Jim Seymour, attended Shrine Catholic High School, and both went on to become All-American football players at Michigan and Notre Dame, respectively.
Seymour enrolled at the University of Michigan in 1966 and played college football as a defensive end for the Michigan Wolverines football teams under head coaches Bump Elliott and Bo Schembechler from 1967 to 1970. As a sophomore, he started all 10 games at defensive end and one game at offensive end for coach Elliott's final team—the 1968 Michigan Wolverines football team that compiled an 8-2 record and was ranked #12 in the final AP Poll. Seymour led the 1968 Michigan team with 92 tackles, including a career-high 17 tackles against California in the first game of the season. At the end of the season, Seymour was selected as a first-team defensive end on the 1968 All-Big Ten Conference football team.
