**Lamonte Hunley** (born January 31, 1963) is an American former professional [football](/source/American_football) player who was a [linebacker](/source/Linebacker) for the [Indianapolis Colts](/source/Indianapolis_Colts) of the [National Football League](/source/National_Football_League) (NFL) from 1985 to 1986.[1][2]

He played [college football](/source/College_football) for the [Arizona Wildcats](/source/Arizona_Wildcats_football), whose teammates included his older brother, [Ricky](/source/Ricky_Hunley).[3] Prior to his senior season, Hunley 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](/source/Pac-10_Conference) honors in his new role.[5]

After going undrafted in the [1985 NFL draft](/source/1985_NFL_draft), Hunley signed a [free agent](/source/Free_agent) contract with the [Indianapolis Colts](/source/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](/source/Barry_Krauss), suffered a season-ending against the [New York Jets](/source/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](/source/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]
