Larry Sylvesta Brinson (born June 6, 1954) is a former American college football coach and a former football running back in the National Football League for the Dallas Cowboys and the Seattle Seahawks. He played college football at the University of Florida.
Brinson was born in Opa-locka, Florida in 1954. He attended Miami Northwestern Senior High School, where he played football and also lettered in track.
Brinson accepted an athletic scholarship to attend the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida, where he played for coach Doug Dickey's Florida Gators football team from 1973 to 1976. In 1973, he became the starter at running back after Nat Moore sprained his foot and fractured his left tibia, but would lose playing time with a dislocated wrist that kept him out until the month of November.
He was named the starter at right halfback as a sophomore, but suffered a hip pointer injury and was relegated to a reserve role behind Tony Green, while rushing for 418 yards.
He would regain the starter position as a senior, spending time at right halfback and fullback, finishing his college career with 1,105 rushing yards on 240 carries and 9 touchdowns. He also played in four bowl games and graduated with a bachelor's degree
