Walter Benton "Walt" Garrison (born July 23, 1944) is a former professional football player, a fullback for the Dallas Cowboys in the National Football League. He was selected in the fifth round of the 1966 NFL Draft (79th overall) out of Oklahoma State.
Born in Denton, Texas, Garrison attended nearby Lewisville High School in Lewisville, and graduated in 1962.
Garrison enrolled at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater and began his freshman year on defense as a linebacker, until Phil Cutchin became OSU head coach in the spring and moved him to running back.
He finished his sophomore season only 12 yards behind rushing leader George Thomas Jr. As a junior in 1964, he led the Big Eight Conference in rushing with 730 yards and was also named All-Academic Big-8. Garrison completed his senior season as OSU's leading rusher with 924 yards and led the Cowboys' to their first win over Oklahoma in 20 years. He was named to the All Big-8 team and his post-season highlights included appearances in the East–West Shrine Game in San Francisco, the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama, where he was voted the Outstanding Back of the North team, the Coaches All-America Game in Atlanta and the College All-Star Game in Chicago in August 1966 against the Green Bay Packers.
