Tony Lorick
William Anthony Lorick (May 25, 1941 – February 17, 2013) was an American football running back who played for six seasons in the National Football League (NFL).
A Los Angeles prep phenom at halfback, Lorick was converted to fullback by head coach Frank Kush during his college years at Arizona State University. He played four years as a tough blocker and effective runner for the Baltimore Colts before being traded to the New Orleans Saints for the second round draft pick that would be converted into Pro-Bowl linebacker Ted Hendricks.
Lorick would be plagued by injuries during his final two seasons in the NFL and would finish with 2,124 yards rushing with a 3.9 yards per carry average, and 3,014 total yards with a total of 19 touchdowns.
Tony Lorick was born May 25, 1941, in Los Angeles, California.
Lorick attended John C. Fremont High School in Los Angeles, where he was a star running back, gaining 3,600 yards and racking up 230 points scored over three varsity football seasons.
After graduation from high school, Lorick spent one year at Eastern Los Angeles Junior College, gaining 1,043 yards rushing.
In the 2014 oral history volume, The Game Before the Money, Lorick recalled that neither of the two collegiate football powers in Los Angeles held any attraction for him — neither UCLA, which "played a slow brand of football," nor USC, for which "all the guys from my area were sitting on the bench." Blessed with a large number of alternative scholarship offers, Lorick initially decided upon the University of Washington in Seattle, — only to be rained upon every day during a two week visit.
"I called Arizona State and asked, 'Does that scholarship offer still stand?' They said, 'Yeah,' and tried to offer me some other little funds, which, by the way, I'm still waiting for," Lorick recalled with a laugh.
