Julian Washington "Judy" Harlan, Jr. (November 6, 1896 – May 20, 1978) was an American college football player for the Georgia Tech Golden Tornado football of the Georgia Institute of Technology. He was the fullback in Georgia Tech's famous backfield of 1917, and was also a Georgia Tech track athlete.
Harlan was a prominent running back for John Heisman's and William Alexander's Georgia Tech Golden Tornado football team of the Georgia Institute of Technology, called by some the school's greatest back. Playing in the days before two platoons, Harlan was also one of the best defensive backs in the country.
Coming from old Tech High, Harlan was a fullback on the school's famous backfield of 1917, alongside halfbacks Everett Strupper and Joe Guyon, and quarterback Albert Hill. Harlan often blocked for Strupper or Guyon, performing notably as a freshman having to fill the void left by Tommy Spence. The 1917 team won Georgia Tech's first national championship and outscored opponents 491 to 17. Harlan was a member of the school's ANAK Society.
