Trent Hockett
West Seattle Warhawks / Auburn
Panthers
Linebacker
1980 -1986
One of the top defenders in the league with the West Seattle
"No Names", a publicity stunt in 1980 where no mascot was
used, then as a Hornet in 1981 and finally as a Warhawk in
1982, The 6'3" Hockett, returned to Tacoma after a stint in
college at San Diego State and became a tackling machine in
the Northwest International Football Alliance. Hockett
earned First Team nods every year with West Seattle.
As the Auburn Panthers were formed, Hockett took the
opportunity to play closer to home and led the Panthers
defense in tackles and set a record for 5 blocked kicks in a
season as the 1984 edition ran out to an undefeated 12-0
season. For two more seasons, Hockett starred on a
defense that features three Hall of Fame linebackers locking
down 57 straight victories for the Panthers, still a
National record.
