Dupont was born in Beaumont-de-Lomagne.
A hooker, Dupont was a hooker and 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.
Dupont was a regular reserve hooker for France during the 1980s, behind the established Philippe Dintrans. His only opportunity came in the 1983 Five Nations, gaining a cap in France's win over Scotland at the Parc des Princes.
Since 2008, Dupont has served as mayor of the town of Faudoas.
