Tracy Quinton Rocker (born April 9, 1966) is an American football coach and former player. He currently serves as the defensive line coach at the University of Georgia. He played college football at Auburn University and professionally in the National Football League (NFL) for the Washington Redskins.
Rocker played high school football at Fulton High School in Atlanta, which later merged with Walter F. George High School to become South Atlanta High School.
In 1988, Rocker won both the Lombardi Award and Outland Trophy, the first SEC player to do so. He played defensive tackle for Auburn University. An Auburn great, Rocker was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame by the National Football Foundation in December 2004 in New York City, and was inducted into Alabama’s state Sports Hall of Fame in the summer of 2005.
A two-time All-American and a three-time All-SEC selection as a player at Auburn, Rocker was named SEC Player of the Year during his senior season. He finished his career with 354 tackles, including 21 quarterback sacks and 48 tackles for loss. During his tenure, Auburn won a pair of league titles, and Rocker was voted to the school’s Team of the Century in 1993. In 2004, Rocker was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.
Rocker was selected in the third round of the 1989 NFL Draft by the Washington Redskins and was selected to the NFL All-Rookie team in 1990. However, after playing only two seasons in the NFL with the Redskins, he concluded his playing career with a one-year stint with the Orlando Thunder in the World League of American Football.
