From Hall of Honor press release dated July 22, 2010:

Larry Peacock, who passed away in 1994, was a feared linebacker who served as a team captain and earned All-Ohio Athletic Conference and team MVP honors as a senior while helping the Tigers to a national championship in 1969. The Tigers posted a four-year record of 32-5 and won two OAC championships during Peacock's gridiron career. Amazingly, Peacock may have made an even greater impact on the men's lacrosse team, which he helped to create in 1967. As a senior, he captained the team and earned All-Midwest honors in 1970, capping a career in which he scored 22 goals. A native of Copley, Ohio, a founding member of Wittenberg's Concerned Black Students organization, and the cross-bearer during Wittenberg's memorial service for Martin Luther King in 1968, Peacock graduated from Wittenberg in 1970 with a degree in history. He is survived by his wife, Margaret Hemphill '70, and his three children.
