6'9 JUCO OT Jacob Hawks commits to Canes

[DMoney]

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...

Is he being added in the summer or next year?

He can play 5 games and still redshirt correct? And also play post season games ? Not sure how the rules have changed.

May. Class of 26. 4 years left to play 3 (has a redshirt he can use)

Welcome to the U, Jacob. I don't see why he can't play into the 2 deep this year and provide some more options. I love it. What a 2026 OL class Miami got.

Imagine this kid and Cantwell as bookends? Not saying he’s good enough to start just the craziness of having a 6’8 left tackle and 6’9’’ right tackle.

Miami extended an offer to Hawks in March and immediately became a major player in his recruitment. North Texas also offered and hosted him for a visit. However, Miami is obviously the much better program. Miami brought him in for his official visit this weekend, pushed during his time on campus and sealed the deal.

.....

Miami explored adding a project offensive lineman earlier this offseason in international rugby player Neff Giwa. While Giwa generated a ton of buzz, it’s important to note that he has never put on pads in his life. Hawks started every game at left tackle for Hutchinson C.C. last season and played a big role in his team finishing with an 11-1 record and reaching the junior college national championship game.

If this dude hits, look out. I would love LT - Cantwell LG - Samson C - Rodriguez RG - McCoy RT - Hawks. Next 3 OL for depth would be Buchanan - First Backup at Either C or G, Merriweather, Wilkerson

And Mathews coming in next season it allows Congdon and Erving to move inside.

I can't imagine that he will play this fall, red shirt candidate
