Stanley Mauldin: brief, but brilliant. In his short time, the 6-1, 210-pound Mauldin distinguished himself at every level. First, it was at Amarillo High, then at the University of Texas, and finally with the Chicago Cardinals of the NFL.
Mauldin came out of Amarillo High as an all-state center and linebacker in 1938, then proceeded to Texas where he started for three years as an offensive and defensive tackle (1940-1942). As a sophomore, Mauldin became part of the “Immortal 13” which defeated National Champion Texas A&M in 1940.
Mauldin enlisted in the Army Air Corps and flew 35 missions overseas in World War II. In 1945, he was named to the All-Army Air Force Eleven.
Mauldin was named the game’s outstanding lineman, UT’s outstanding athlete in 1942, and was inducted into the Longhorn Hall of Honor in 1969.
After the war he tried his hand at professional football with the Chicago Cardinals.
In 1948, at age 27, Stanley Mauldin died of a heart attack.
