Ira Albright (born January 2, 1959) is a former gridiron football running back and defensive tackle. After attending South Oak Cliff High School, Albright played college football at Tyler Junior College and for the Northeastern State Riverhawks.[1] In 1983, he played for the Michigan Panthers of the United States Football League (USFL) as a nose guard.[2] The Pittsburgh Maulers converted Albright to a fullback in 1984, thinking he was too small to be effective on the defense.[3] In 1986, Albright played in one regular season game with the Montreal Alouettes.[1]
