In 1932 halfback Jimmy Hitchcock made Auburn history by becoming the first player to earn All-America honors. Eighty-nine years later, Roger McCreary continued the legacy of Auburn greats by becoming a first team All-American on three different lists in 2021. The first cornerback to earn All-America honors since Chris Davis in 2013, McCreary was placed on the Associated Press, The Athletic and ESPN first teams. n Seventy-two Tiger players have combined for 81 first team All-America honors. End Jimmy Phillips is Auburn’s most celebrated All-American, making 11 teams in 1957. Pat Sullivan, Terry Beasley, Bo Jackson and Tracy Rocker were each named to 10 teams in a single season. n Auburn has had 22 seasons with multiple All-Americans and nine seasons with three or more.

ALABAMAPOULTRY.ORG334-265-273264 REMEMBERING LEAH RAWLS ATKINS AUBURNTIGERS.COM Whether she was winning waterski- ing competitions, earning Auburn Uni- versity degrees or being inducted into the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame, Dr. Leah Rawls Atkins was accustomed to being first. The first woman Alabama Sports Hall of Fame inductee and the first person to earn a doctorate in history from Auburn, Atkins passed away Friday, Oct. 4, at the age of 89. “I traveled far on my improbable journey,” Atkins told graduates at Auburn’s spring commencement in 2017. “To complete it, I had to work harder, use my time more efficiently, push myself constantly, learn to function with less sleep, go over notes and materials many times.” The Leah Rawls Atkins Award, presented annually for excellence in academics and athletics to a student- athlete who models leadership, integrity and courage, is the highest honor an Auburn female student-athlete can receive. “Having the award named for her was one of her most special things,” said her son, Jack, the youngest of four children of Leah and George Atkins, a former Auburn assistant football coach under Shug Jordan. “It was a big part of our family, and we got to share it every year. It’s an incredible legacy for her, a defining thing. “It was front and center in our family’s life just about every year. She always felt like she was part of the athletic department. She loved Auburn more passionately than most could understand.” A 1976 Alabama Sports Hall of Fame inductee, Atkins was Alabama’s first waterskiing world champion, winning in 1953 as an 18-year-old in Toronto, Canada, the first of numerous records and championships, both nationally and internationally. Born in Birmingham in 1935, Leah Marie Rawls fell in love with Auburn as a 7-year-old when she visited her cousin, a student at what was then known as Alabama Polytechnic Institute. She enrolled in 1953 and married George, her husband of 60 years, the following year, eventually earning three Auburn degrees. She taught history at Auburn as a graduate student and an instructor, and when her family moved to Birmingham, she taught at UAB for one term, and 12 years at Samford University. She served on the Auburn Alumni Board and was the founding director of the Caroline Marshall Draughon Center for the Arts and Humanities at Pebble Hill in 1985. “She didn’t really think of herself as a feminist as much as she felt it was fair for those doors to be open,” Jack Atkins said. “It was fair for women to have the same career opportunities as men. She felt she was an equal for sure. She was very proud of the doors she felt like she opened for women.” Atkins served on the Auburn Library Development Committee and authored many articles and books, including “Alabama: The History of a Deep South State” and “A Century of Women at Auburn, 1892-1992: Blossoms Amid the Deep Verdure.” “One of the things that meant the most to her was the Auburn library,” Jack Atkins said. “She was always trying to do what was best for Auburn, not only today, but what was going to be best for Auburn in 20 or 30 years, and in laying foundations.” At Auburn’s 2017 commencement, Atkins reminded graduates how to make the most of their Auburn degrees, advice she herself followed throughout her remarkable nine-decade journey. “Stay close to Auburn,” Atkins said. “Come back when you can. Join all those many Auburn people who have loved Auburn as you do, have appreciated their education and the special friends they made. Stay close simply because you love Auburn University, and it has given you the preparation for success and the best days of your life—so far!” REMEMBERING LEAH RAWLS ATKINS BY: JEFF SHEARER WhereStyleMeetsSouthernHospitality 2301 Ogletree Village Lane, Suite 105 Auburn,AL36830 Owner,BrookeK.Slezak Follow us on Facebook and Instagram @shopmjboutique_66 POST SEASON TROPHY WINNERS n Zeke Smith 1958 Outland Trophy n Tracy Rocker 1988 Outland Trophy & Lombardi Award n Carlos Rogers 2004 Jim Thorpe Award n Nick Fairley 2010 Lombardi Award n Reese Dismukes 2014 Rimington Trophy n Derrick Brown 2019 Lott IMPACT Trophy POST SEASON TROPHY WINNERSBusiness Friends Working for the Future of Auburn 706.810.5915 bluefrogplumbing.com/columbus • Whole House Repipes • Drain Cleaning • Water Filtration • Pipe Repair & Replacement • Membership Program • Hydro Jetting • Sewer Installation/ Repair • Tankless Water Heaters • Gas Lines We service Financing Available | Up-Front Pricing Licensed, Bonded, & Insured S ERV I C E 24/7 A D i f f e r e n t S p e ci es of Pl u m b e r 2328 S College Street, Suite 2 Auburn, AL 36832 516-426-9474 FRANKY JUNES Weeny Wagon OPELIKA, ALABAMA Southern Fusion Hotdogs, Tots & Rings Fresh Ingredients + Made Daily = YUM! frankyjunes.com | (334) 750-7832 68 TIGERS IN THE NFL TIGERS IN THE NFL AUBURNTIGERS.COM BRADEN SMITH JAMIEN SHERWOOD DANIEL CARLSON TANK BIGSBY DERICK HALL DARIUS SLAYTON JONATHAN JONESTIGERS IN THE NFL 69 TIGERS IN THE NFL AUBURNTIGERS.COM CARLTON DAVIS K.J.
