Robert Delmas "Del" Gooch (March 10, 1905 – December 1968) was a college football player.
Gooch was a prominent end for the Sewanee Tigers football teams of Sewanee:The University of the South. At Sewanee he was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. He was picked for an all-time Sewanee team,[1] which noted how Gooch would "slash through enemy interference to tackle his man viciously."[2] In his senior year, Gooch was awarded the Porter Cup of the Porter Clothing Company as his university's best all-around athlete.[3] He also appears on Billy Evans's "Southern Honor Roll."[4]
