Larry Stallings

Larry Joseph Stallings (born December 11, 1941) was an American professional football player who played linebacker in the National Football League for 14 seasons, all with the St. Louis Cardinals. Born in Evansville, Indiana, he attended Reitz Memorial High School, where he played tackle and served as team captain during his senior year in 1958, when Memorial went undefeated. He also played forward on the school's basketball team, listed at 6 feet 1 inch and 185 pounds, and earned All-City and All-State mention in football as a senior.

Recruited by Notre Dame, Tulane, Vanderbilt, Kentucky, Xavier, and Indiana, Stallings chose the Georgia Institute of Technology because his father wanted him to earn an engineering degree there. He played college football for the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and was a star on the team, graduating in 1963 with a degree in civil engineering.

Over his 14 NFL seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals, Stallings established himself as a linebacker and was named to one Pro Bowl.
