Lamonte Hunley (born January 31, 1963) is a former American football linebacker. He played for the Indianapolis Colts from 1985 to 1986.[1] [2]
He played college football at Arizona, where he was a teammate of his older brother, Ricky Hunley.[3] Prior to his senior season, he was moved from weakside inside linebacker to strongside inside linebacker, following in his brother's footsteps.[4] [5] Hunley earned first-team All-Pac-10 Conference honors in his new role.
After going undrafted in the 1985 NFL draft, Hunley signed a free agent contract with the Indianapolis Colts. As a rookie, he recorded 25 special teams tackles, which ranked second on the team.[6] Hunley earned playing time at right inside linebacker in 1986 after the team's leading tackler, Barry Krauss, suffered a season-ending against the New York Jets.[6] Hunley recorded five solo tackles, one assisted tackle, and one fumble recovery in the game.[6] However, he suffered a foot injury a few weeks later and was placed on the injured reserve list.
After his playing career, Hunley became a co-owner of Arizona Health, a fitness equipment store, along with partner Scott Thompson.[7]
