Houston native Larry Isbell quarterbacked the Baylor Bears from 1949-1951. A consensus All-SWC player in 1950 and 1951, he threw for 2,716 yards and 26 TDs during his college career. In 1951 Isbell made the All-America team and led the Bears to an 8-2-1 record and a trip to the Orange Bowl. Isbell was a master at the play-action fake and was also an excellent punter.
