Austin Peay’s Tirrek Hooten brings proven rushing pedigree, but current 2026 form is still thin on public stat detail
Hooten is a compact, production-backed back who arrived at Austin Peay after rushing for 1,700 yards and earning Central Florida All-Star MVP honors, which signals real burst and game-changing runway speed[2]. Publicly available 2026 game-by-game production is limited, so the big draw is his proven downhill profile and ability to carry offense in volume rather than a flashy stat-sheet footprint right now[1][4]. If your team wants a back with a sturdy recruiting résumé and upside as a physical runner, he’s worth a look[2].
