Billy Joe Mantooth (1951 – July 23, 1986) was an American professional football linebacker from Clendenin, West Virginia. Nicknamed "the Man-Eater", he played junior college football at Ferrum College and received NJCAA All-American honors in 1970. He transferred to West Virginia University, where he lettered in 1971 and 1972. Mantooth spent the 1973 preseason with the Philadelphia Eagles and was subsequently associated with the Houston Oilers during the 1974 and 1975 seasons. Mantooth is also known for his indirect role in keeping two Marshall University football staffers, who were on a recruiting trip to see him, off of Southern Airways Flight 932; the chartered flight crashed on its return trip to West Virginia and killed all 75 people aboard. Mantooth died in a single-vehicle crash on Interstate 79 near Sutton, West Virginia, on July 23, 1986.
