Former Carlisle Indians player Gus Welch played at quarterback for Camp Meade.[1] Eddie Thayer, a former Penn star who played in Camp Meade's backfield, was selected by Walter Camp as a third-team player on the 1917 All-Service football team.[2]

Everett "Hook" Mylin, formerly of Franklin and Marshall, was the team captain. He was wounded while fighting in France in 1918.[3]

In 1918, Camp Meade did not field an all-cantonment team. Instead, the camp organized company teams with multiple games played each week.[4][5]
