this!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.
Yes but Hawks has been playing i would say slightly higher level competition being at Juco. Which is also where Bell was and he started games first season after Rivers went down.I wouldn't expect him to pick up things like Cantwell, who was rated by some as the #1 player in the country.
We were all wearing orange and green glasses for too long and thinking we were “just a few more players away”.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?”
WEEE?!We were all wearing orange and green glasses for too long and thinking we were “just a few more players away”.
The size, speed and athleticism difference was so obvious against Clemson in 2015. It was over from the first play and obvious just by looking at them line it up. It was a glaring size difference.
Yep, they’ll develop him alright. Imagine what he’ll do to opponent D…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.

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.
