After watching his film, I am wondering why he doesn't have more offers from top tier schools. Duke, Illinios, Northwestern, and Iowa state are hardly powerhouses. He mentions that Miami may be showing some interest, but it doesn't sound like he has a firm offer from them yet. Why would a four star with highlights like this not have more interest from more top schools and why is Florida so late finding him? Did he just blossom late his Senior year? He looks in the videos like he has the 4.3-4.4 speed. Reminds me a little of Harvin as far as build and the way he holds himself on the field. In the vidoe, he doesn't show the incredible ability that Harvin had to turn on a dime while running full speed, but it also looks like he didn't need to. He is able to just out run everyone and his coaches may just tell him not mess around with a bunch of cut backs when he doesn't really need to.

Much more likely this has to do with Debose.

Coaches really like Hawkins so that would be disappointing.
AB is not scaring any WR's off. We need more playmakers.

He has great athletic ability and great skills with the ball in his hand but one thing i noticed were the routes he was running were pretty standard routes (hitch,fly,screen,out) . I would like to have seen him go across the middle a couple times and run some more complex routes to show that he can make the next step. I know he is supposed to run the plays that are called so i would be interested to see him run our route tree at a camp. Would love to get the kid but after some of the other Wrs that are still available(Treadwell,Coley,North,Robinson)
