Inductees

One of the greatest two-way talents in Missouri history, LaRose starred from 1958-1960 as an end who could dominate the line of scrimmage and as MU’s leading receiver as a sophomore and senior. He also punted for MU in 1960. A native of Crystal City, MO, LaRose won all-conference honors in 1958 and 1960 and was a consensus All-America selection in 1960 when Missouri beat Navy in the Orange Bowl. LaRose played in the College All-Star Game and Hula Bowl in 1961 and then went on to a professional career with the Detroit Lions, Pittsburgh Steelers and the Miami Dolphins. LaRose was inducted into the University of Missouri Hall of Fame in 1992.
