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. Carnell Williams Karlos Dansby Terry BeasleyTOWARD THE PURCHASE OF A MANUFACTURED HOME $75,000 During select SEC games this year, if Auburn returns their first received kick of the second half for a touchdown or scores on the first three plays after that kick, one lucky fan could win up to $75,000 toward the purchase of a new manufactured home from an AMHA retailer. 64 ON THE PLAINS WITH SHANE HOOKS Shane Hooks wants to make sure when he makes plays in Jordan-Hare Stadium this season, the fans know him simply as “Hollywood.” Hooks is a graduate transfer from Jackson State, where he totaled 82 re- ceptions for 974 yards and 12 touch- downs the past two seasons. He began his college career at Ohio University. The nickname, however, started back at Olympia High School in Florida. Hooks came out to practice one day with sun- glasses on under his helmet, and his coach said, “You know what? You’re Hol- lywood.” It stuck. Don’t be fooled by the nickname, though. Hooks might have a knack for making spectacular plays, but he also prides himself on hard work. He plays with a different edge because, as a premature baby who was born three months early, he knows he’s blessed to be playing at all. “I love doing what I do for the people that can’t do it,” Hooks said. “I wasn’t supposed to be here. So, that’s my edge. That’s my push. I do it for others that can’t do it. “I know there are always going to be obstacles in life. What are you going to do? Are you going to fold when they come or are you going to surpass them, jump over them? That’s how I approach it because I know I overcame life in be- ing here and pursuing my dreams, so when it comes to football, I know that anything that comes my way, I can handle.” Hooks finds another source of motivation from his family and spe- cifically his mother, Karen Mingo, who works as a pediatric nurse in Or- lando where he grew up. He was the only boy on his mom’s side and was raised by all females. “I lost my grandma and my great grandma, so I have to do it for my mom,” Hooks said. “I think that’s why I have such a big heart. I get it from her.” While his love for people and for kids comes from his mother, Hooks credits his drive and his blue-collar mentality to his uncle, Hall of Fame running back Edgerrin James. James played 11 seasons in the NFL and currently ranks 13th on the all- time rushing list with 12,246 career yards. He was a four-time Pro Bowler, the Of- fensive Rookie of the Year in 1999 and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in the class of 2020. He knows what it takes to be great, and he’s tried to impart that wisdom onto Hooks and help him achieve his own dream of playing in the NFL. “I’ve got cousins that play basketball, cousins that play football, and he told us if this is what we want to do, we have to love it every day,” Hooks said. “We have to do it when we don’t want to do it. Just going out, the hot summers, every day – we used to wake up at 6 a.m. and be back in the house at 6 p.m. We were out there all day just working on our craft. It was just the foundation of hard work.” For Hooks, those 12-hour days began as early as 2007 when he was still in ele- mentary school. Now, 16 years later, he’s at Auburn where he’s one step closer to his dream. When Hooks entered the transfer portal after last season, James initial- ly wanted him to transfer to Cincinnati, where his son is committed to play bas- ketball. But then the opportunity to play in the SEC arose, and James knew Hooks had to take it. “Once I got SEC offers, he was like, ‘If you want to be the best, you’ve got to go play against the best, and it’s going to show,’” Hooks said. Hooks had multiple SEC offers after a breakout season at Jackson State last year. Why Auburn? “Why not Auburn?” he asked. “It was mainly Coach (Hugh) Freeze,” Hooks added. “Him being so genuine. He’s a player’s coach. I just wanted to play for him.” As a graduate transfer with a bachelor’s degree in communication and sports media, Hooks has just one year to play at Auburn. And then, if all goes according to plan, it’s on to the NFL. Once football is over, he wants to stay in sports and be in front of a camera in some type of capacity. “I’m an entertainer,” Hooks said. Fitting for the man they call “Hol- lywood.” ON THE PLAINS WITH SHANE HOOKS BY GREG OSTENDORF AUBURNTIGERS.COM I WASN’T SUPPOSED TO BE HERE Business Friends Working for the Future of Auburn 334.321.2321 | brightinvestments.com Auburn, AL | Memphis, TN | Nashville, TN | Tampa, FL WAR EAGLE!
