Cecil W. "Hootie" Ingram (September 2, 1933 – May 6, 2024) was an American college football player, coach, and athletics administrator.

In his senior year, he was selected as an All-State halfback, elected to the All-Fifth District basketball team, and played East-West All-Star baseball in Birmingham, Alabama.

[3] In December 1952, the United Press International ran a feature story on Ingram calling him the "Tide's Honorable Thief," due to his talent for intercepting passes.

The slender Alabama sophomore safetyman stole more passes thrown by opponents than any other man in the Southeastern Conference this year.

[12] In February 1958, he was hired as the head football coach and athletic director at Tuscaloosa County High School.

Ingram stepped down as Alabama's athletic director in August 1995 after being reprimanded for his role in rules violations that led the NCAA to place the school on probation for three years.

Ingram said he could no longer effectively serve as athletic director after the NCAA's rebuke and asked to be reassigned.

"[6] In 2007, the University of Alabama National Alumni Association presented Ingram with the Paul W. Bryant Alumni-Athlete Award.

The award recognizes athletes whose accomplishments since leaving the University are "outstanding based on character, contributions to society, professional achievement and service.
