Assessing the talent:
"Hawkins blends great athleticism and instincts in the secondary and consistently seems to be around the ball making plays. Lacks ideal height but is a chiseled athlete with a wide frame to pack on additional lean bulk to complement his aggressive style of play. A bit high and rigid in his pedal resulting in only adequate transitional quickness in an out. Does read the quarterback soundly, anticipate the throw well and generates great speed quickly breaking and jumping underneath routes. Looks for a high-impact hit if he can't separate the ball from the receiver. Tracks the deep throw well and does a good job high-pointing the jump ball flashing his good timing and leaping skills. Good break over deep out routes. Covers a lot of ground quickly with little wasted motion on run support. Chases down ball carriers with a relentless motor and good aggressiveness. Strong tackler and his good range, ball skills and toughness could make strong safety a good possibility with continued physical development. Fights through the stalk block with good upper-body strength or slips it with quickness. Ability to set the edge. Does not shy away from contact and actually looks to initiate it. However, he lacks great hips and recovery speed when projecting as a man-to-man cornerback prospect. Strength to step up and play press but lacks good pedal fluidity and footwork. Height is a concern versus today's taller college receivers and could hinder ability at corner or free safety. A threat with the ball in his hands on offense. Displays loose hips and good stop-start skill eluding defenders in space. Versatile, aggressive athlete. Great prospect."

Odds of becoming a Cornhusker: 5%. Is committed to Maryland, but has reopened his recruiting and is talking to Nebraska. Is teammates with recent commit Jason Ankrah.
