North Carolina A&T Aggies quarterback Alston Hooker, the younger brother of former Tennessee Vols quarterback Hendon Hooker, had a huge fourth quarter last weekend against Campbell.
After not throwing a pass all season, Hooker entered the game in relief of injured starting quarterback Eli Brickhandler and he proceeded to light it up.
Hooker, who is a redshirt sophomore, completed 11-of-15 passes for 159 yards and a touchdown in the fourth quarter of the Aggies' 28-14 loss to Campbell (the game appeared to be heading for a blowout before Hooker entered).
"As camp unfolded and the season unfolded, we set our depth chart, QB1, 2, 3, and 4," said Aggies head coach Vincent Brown after the game. " Obviously, you can't practice all four quarterbacks, so Alston just ended up being the fourth option throughout the course of the season, and he's been tremendous. He's giving us a great look on our scout team. He's a team-oriented player, not one selfish moment about saying, 'I should be playing over this guy or that guy.' He's a constant team player. He came in and did a nice job for us today."
Maybe Hooker can get a shot to run North Carolina A&T's offense in 2024 after the show he put on this past weekend.

Not sure we can agree, Shane
