The third-base dugout at the Florida Gators’ new baseball stadium will be named the Hooks Family dugout after a “generous gift” was received from Debbie and Hollis Hooks.
“We are forever grateful for the Hooks’ family commitment to Gator athletics,” said Athletic Director Scott Stricklin. “Their long-term generosity has touched so many facilities and projects, from scholarship endowments, academics, football, softball, and now our new Florida ballpark. They share in our vision for across the board excellence in our athletic program and are committed to the student-athlete experience.”
Hollis is a graduate of Mercer, while Debbie graduated from the University of Florida in 1974.
