Herbert H. Lusk (February 19, 1953 – September 19, 2022) was an American professional football player who was a running back for three seasons in the National Football League (NFL).

Lusk was born in Memphis, Tennessee, on February 19, 1953.

He attended Seaside High School in Seaside, California.

1972

He initially studied at Monterey Peninsula College (MPC) from 1972 to 1973, before transferring to California State University, Long Beach (CSULB).

In the third game of his career on September 27, 1976, he fumbled the ball with 12 seconds remaining in the first half after he opted to run instead of running out the clock.

He made the seventh-longest rushing attempt in the league (70 yards) the following year, and became the first NFL player to kneel in the endzone after a touchdown and pray on October 9, 1977.

He scored two other touchdowns that season, to go along with 229 rushing yards, 5 receptions, and 102 receiving yards in 11 games.

1979

He played just 3 games during his final year in the NFL, and attended one day of training camp in July 1979, before retiring from football at the age of 26 to become a minister.
