The Canes landed one of the biggest OL in America with the commitment of Topeka, Kansas native Jacob Hawks.
Hawks has drawn comparisons to Markel Bell, and it's easy to see why- he's 6'9 3/4, 338 pounds with an 83.5-inch wingspan, 35-inch arms and 10-inch hands. Like Bell, Hakws went to JUCO for further development despite being a full qualifier out of high school. He started at Left Tackle as a freshman for the Hutchinson CC Blue Dragons, who went 11-1 and finished as national JUCO runner ups. Hutchinson is an NFL factory that has sent 47 players to the pros, including Alvin Kamara and Cordarelle Patterson.
Hawks will enroll this summer and has four years to play three. His enrollment and the return of Joel Ervin (who missed spring with an injury) will infuse even more elite size to Coach Mirabal's offensive line room.
