Hall of Fame
One of the best wide receivers Pacific has ever boasted, Daryl Hobbs is inducted tonight into the Pacific Athletics Hall of Fame.
Hobbs was a wide receiver at Pacific for two seasons, playing for the Tigers in 1990 and 1991. During his time in Stockton, the Victoria, Texas native engraved his name onto a number of single-game, single-season and career record lists. One of his biggest accomplishments includes when Hobbs combined with teammate Aaron Turner for a record 419 yards in a game against Utah State on Nov. 17, 1990. Individually, Hobbs totaled 228 yards in the contest. The following season, he and Turner teamed up yet again, setting a single-season record for total receiving yards by two players with 2,446.
Overall, Hobbs ranks in the top ten in multiple categories at Pacific, holding the single-season record for touchdowns (14), receiving touchdowns (12), receiving yards (848), receptions (62), and all-purpose yards (1,466). In the career record books, Hobbs ranks third in total receptions (124), receiving yards (1,690), touchdown receptions (26), and is ninth in scoring (158). Hobbs led the Big West in touchdowns both years and received all-conference honors. Daryl lived by the motto “All it takes is all you’ve got”.
Following his time at UOP, Hobbs played seven seasons in the NFL, opening his career with the Los Angeles Raiders before going on to play for the New Orleans Saints and Seattle Seahawks.
A Tiger through and through, Daryl was most recently an athletic director and Head Football Coach at Robert E. Lee High School in Houston, Texas.
