Sheer dominance. One of the greatest and most decorated defensive players in Auburn and Southeastern Conference history, Tracy Rocker struck fear in the hearts of offensive coordinators across the country. A unanimous First Team All-America selection in 1988 and consensus pick in 1987, Rocker earned First Team All-Conference honors three times and became the first SEC player ever to win both the Outland Trophy and Lombardi Award in the same season, which he did in 1988. Twice named Auburn's Defensive Player of the Year and SEC Defensive Player of the Year in 1988, Rocker helped lead the Tigers to a pair of conference titles. Named to Auburn's Team of the Century and Team of the Decade for the 1980s, Rocker's 354 career tackles are the most by any down lineman in school history. He also recorded 48 tackles behind the line of scrimmage and 21 career sacks. Following graduation, Rocker played for three seasons in the NFL with the Washington Redskins. Since his playing days, he has embarked on a coaching career as a defensive line coach.
