Edmund Leroy "Ed" Kagy (April 21, 1889 – November 16, 1960) was a professional American football player in the Ohio League, which was the direct predecessor to the modern National Football League, from 1912 until 1915. During that time he played with the Shelby Blues, Elyria Athletics, Akron Indians and the Massillon Tigers. He won championships with Elyria, in 1914, and Akron in 1913 and 1914. Prior to his professional career, Kagy played college level at Western Reserve, now known as Case Western Reserve University, from 1908 until 1911. In 1917 he played for the Camp Sherman Football Team. He played for the team on November 29, 1917, in a 28–0 loss to the Ohio State Buckeyes. On April 18, 1980, Kagy was inducted into Case's varsity sports hall of fame.
In 1912, Kagy co-founded Gyro International, where he remained involved until he retired in 1953. He was enduringly known within the organization as the "Grey Eagle.” He resided in Chagrin Falls, OH much of his adult life.
