SoCon Baseball Power Rankings & Stat Leaders: Who’s Hot Right Now

Kenny Rogers

Was a three-sport athlete in high school, with aspirations of playing basketball at the next level. In his senior year, he served as the seventh man on a six-deep team that reached the Alabama State Playoffs in Tuscaloosa. At the time, he made the controversial decision to send recruitment tapes to colleges on audio cassettes. “I stand by my decision. I needed to do something different to get recruiters to notice me.” After receiving no offers from D1, DII, DIII, NAIA, JUCO, cosmetology, or small gasoline engine repair schools that advertised in the back of magazines in the ’80s, he decided to sit out competitive basketball in college while attending Auburn University. After graduation, marriage, and starting a family, he returned to the hardcourt for a dominant 10-year run against his children, ages 2 through 11. He has written extensively on the Auburn Tigers and SEC sports. In January 2026, he launched SoConAllHere.com to give Southern Conference fans a dedicated home and to bring greater visibility to the teams and athletes competing in the conference.
