In Memoriam – Cecil “Hootie” Ingram
Two-sport Alabama star and former Alabama athletic director Cecil “Hootie” Ingram died today in Tuscaloosa at the age of 90. Ingram played both football and baseball at Alabama in the 1950s, and was an All-SEC defensive back in 1952, when he led the nation with 10 interceptions. He moved into coaching after his collegiate career was over, including a stint as Clemson head coach from 1970-1972. Ingram later became an administrator with the SEC, Florida State, and eventually back at Alabama. Ingram served as Alabama athletic director from 1989-1995. He was inducted into the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame in 1991.
A decorated student-athlete and athletics administrator.
