“Hawkins led IMG Academy to a strong win over one of Florida’s top prep programs in Cocoa High School. He was a pass-first threat in this one, working through his progressions toward an efficient night. The SMU commitment completed 13 of his 16 attempts for 145 yards and three touchdowns. The threat of his legs also helped to get the overall run game going, another sign of his decision-making prowess in running the read-option correctly well more than not.
“Hawkins’ footwork in the pocket is a very impressive watch in-person. He transitions with ease and can shift his weight toward the target seemingly more efficiently than most. It combines with strong anticipation to form an accurate game, especially in the short to intermediate levels. We also liked the trigger Hawkins showed when under duress, maximizing his short stature with throws including various release points successfully.
“Even in more of a ‘game manager’ role instead of his usual dual-threat, Hawkins was ultra impressive in his third outing with IMG Academy. He is poised, in control and efficient relative to what is asked of him.” – Rivals national recruiting analyst John Garcia Jr.
