David William "Gump" Ariail (December 29, 1910 – February 10, 2001) was a college football and basketball player.
Ariail was an All-Southern end for the Auburn Tigers of Auburn University. He was a teammate of College Football Hall of Fame inductee Jimmy Hitchcock. One source wrote, "Other than Jimmy Hitchcock, back, and "Gump" Arial [sic], end, Auburn has no outstanding players." Ariail would receive passes from halfback Firpo Phipps. He was selected All-American by the "captain's poll," selected by the captains of major college football programs.
Ariail was also captain of the basketball team.
