Dupont was born in Beaumont-de-Lomagne.[1]
A hooker, Dupont formed a front row at SU Agen made up entirely of farmers. Along with France prop Daniel Dubroca and future international Jean-Louis Tolot, the three were known as the "première ligne des agriculteurs" ("frontline of farmers") and contributed to SU Agen's championship-winning side in 1982.[2][3]
Dupont was a regular reserve hooker for France during the 1980s, behind the established Philippe Dintrans.[2] His only opportunity came in the 1983 Five Nations, gaining a cap in France's win over Scotland at the Parc des Princes.[4]
Since 2008, Dupont has served as mayor of the town of Faudoas.[2]
