6'9 JUCO OT Jacob Hawks commits to Canes

[TheEye]

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.

Awesome get.

Welcome!!

Not needed this season but excellent depth in case of injury and should be ready for the rotation next year.

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

I doubt he plays much next year. He looks very raw on the tape that I saw. But down the road, I trust that Cristo-Mirabal will make something of him.

Who were his other offers?

 

[FuriousStyles]

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.

That jumbo package inside the 5 is going to be a problem.

What in the **** are we doing? We are assembling the greatest O-Line in college football history. At this rate, some of the O-Line will have to be moved to a Fullback position. I am in awe of what we are pulling in right now. Man, we are building depth.

 

[Shooter McGavin]

That’s a large man

@DMoney … Or any in the know

Was he injured? Hutchinson team page says he played only 4 games? Maybe not updated.

He has 4 to play 3 correct?

Keep stacking !! Our ol about to have a average height taller then our basketball team

 

[BALLHAWKU]

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

Good problem to have !! Congsin will end up being a monster at Miami . We get Mathew next year our ol could be the best in the country

Remember when Rick was hired, and on his first day, when he saw all the players, he literally asked, “where are all the big guys?”

Mirabal saw Bell and is trying to find as many Bells as possible. These mofos dont even need to move much to be in the way. If he picks up the lingo and techniques by fall i would be shocked but Cantwell did in a few months no? And he a true FR.

We’re gonna have to get Coleman some platform shoes.

I wouldn't expect him to pick up things like Cantwell, who was rated by some as the #1 player in the country.

 

[Golsen82]

35 in . arms? Can he play DE?

 

[NZ Cane]

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....

Much rather take a guy like this.
