ASU # 71
Larry Hand
Number Retired
Appalachian State University
retired the No. 71 worn by all-American and NFL standout LarryHand. Hand was a two-time all-American and three-time all-Carolinas Conference honoree as a tackle at Appalachian from 1960-64. Hand wasfar from a top prospect coming outof Butler H.S. in Butler, N.J. In fact,he worked as a mason for two yearsbefore Appalachian head coach JimDuncan brought him to Boone, despitethe fact that the 6-4, 225-pounder only played junior varsity high schoolfootball. However, after missing his
freshman season due to injury, Hand made an immediate impact on the Mountaineers and put together the first of threestraightall-conference campaigns in 1962.
In ‘63, he garnered all-America accolades for the first time, earning second-team
NAIA honors. His breakout performance came in a 20-6 win over Lenoir-Rhyne, in which
he led a Mountaineer defense that forced five fumbles and held the Bears to minus-22 yards rushing.
Following Appalachian’s first victory over LRC in nine years, Duncan called Hand
“the best pro line prospect to come out of the Carolinas Conference.” Professional
teams agreed, as Hand was drafted as a future selection by both the Detroit Lions
(10th round — NFL) and New York Jets (21st round — AFL) prior to his senior season
in 1964 (future selections could be used on players that had a year of college eligibilityremaining but their class had graduated).
In ‘64, Hand showed why the professional teams jumped at the chance to draft
him in the offseason, as he put together a monster season that culminated in first-team
NAIA all-America plaudits and second-team recognition by the Associated Press. He
was also awarded the 1964 Kirkland Blocking Award, established in 1957 by Catawba
College in memory of Gordon A. Kirkland.
He signed with the Lions in 1965 and went on to play 13 seasons in Detroit. His
13 years of service are tied for the third-most in Lions history and his 164 games played
are tied for the 11th-highest total in franchise history.
In his 13 professional seasons, Hand registered five interceptions as a defensive
lineman, returning three for touchdowns. He was the Lions’ defensive MVP in 1972
and is still tied for second in Lions history with two INT returns for touchdowns in
1967. Defensive statistics such as tackles, tackles for loss and sacks were not kept by
the Lions until 1973 (and didn’t become an official NFL statistic in 1983). However, it is
known that he led Detroit in sacks in two of the five seasons that he played when those
records were kept, with 11 in 1973 and seven in 1975 (both 14-game seasons).
Hand is currently employed by Wachovia Securities and resides in the Winston-
Salem area with his wife, Darlene.
Current Appalachian offensive lineman Pat Mills will be able to continue wearing
No. 71 for the remainder of his ASU career.
