Gerald Theodore "Snitz" Snyder (August 6, 1905 – June 28, 1983) was an American football player and Army officer.

[2] In Tales from the Maryland Terrapins, author David Ungrady credits Snyder with popularizing the fake reverse.

[4] In his senior year in 1928, Snyder was expected to be elected team captain, but had been suspended for off-field behavior by head coach Curley Byrd.

[3] Byrd believed the captaincy had become a popularity contest and elected instead to name game captains, a practice which continued for the next 15 years.

[3] That season, Snyder was named a second-team All-American in football by the Associated Press, and became just the second Maryland player to be honored as such.
