Dudley was born in 1903 in Quitsna, North Carolina.[1] He moved as a child to Columbus, Ohio, and attended East High School in that city.[1] He enrolled at Marietta College where he competed in football, baseball, basketball, and track, and received 14 varsity letters.[2] He was selected as captain of Marietta's football team as a junior in 1925.[3][4] He received a law degree from Ohio State University,[2] and also played college football there.[1]

He played professional football in the National Football League (NFL) as a tackle for the Portsmouth Spartans during the 1930 and 1931 seasons. He appeared in 13 NFL games, nine as a starter.[5]

He later became an attorney. He served for many years as assistant prosecuting attorney for Pike County, Ohio. In 1943, he attended the North Carolina Pre-Flight School in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.[6] After the war, he moved to Oregon and eventually to California. He served as president of the Nutra-Vita Food Supplement Company from 1948 to 1955 and also served as chairman of the board.[2]

In 1985, Harris was inducted into the Marietta College Hall of Fame.[2] He died in 1989 at age 85 in Palm Springs, California.[1]
