Fosdick was born in Knoxville, Iowa, in 1894. He attended high school in Des Moines, Iowa. He played college football at Iowa from 1914 to 1916.[1]

He served in the Army during World War I and played professional football for the Rock Island Independents from 1918 to 1920.[2] He also played as a guard and tackle for the Minneapolis Marines from 1920 to 1922.[2][1] The Marines were part of the National Football League (NFL) in 1923, and Fosdick appeared in five NFL games, all as a starter, during the 1923 season.[3]
