Donald Hawkins ??

[TwiceHorn 31304]

So, this guy has been fairly outspoken on a number of Texas issues. https://twitter.com/That_Boi_Dhawk

According to wikipedia, he was a juco from NW Miss. CC and played 2012 and 2013 at UT.  And was First Team All Big XII in 2013 as an OT?  UDFA in 2014.  Journeyman NFL player with no starts.

I have zero recollection of this guy.  None.  Name doesn't even ring a bell.

I suppose that I am likely to forget an OL or DL over the years, particularly from that disastrous era, but I find it strange that his name doesn't even ring a bell.

Anyone else?

Nope, I remember.  He was a good lineman.

Twitter is so cool!

I remember him.

Reading his tweets during the game....sounds like all of us.

I remember his as part of the serviceable 2013 line.

He played pro after UT (I think KC) but got into concussion protocol and while he was waiting to get cleared medically, he got passed over and ended up out of the league. Last I saw him was last summer. He was hanging around The Opening at The Ford Center in Frisco trying to network his way into his next career. 

Not the most friendly guy, but he was there to try to get a foot in the door somewhere, not to talk with people.

He was a part of maybe our best OL in the last decade (not saying much I know). He was good.

that sounds pretty nice. 

[TwiceHorn 31304]

I went back and looked at the 2013 roster and 80% of the names I remembered.  No clue why I have zero recollection of Hawkins.

He was very good player on a mediocre team (boy that sounds familiar). Had a cup of coffee in the NFL and even got some PT with the Cowboys. He's an o line trainer now and actually worked with the Brocks (fuck em). From the sounds of it, it seems like he was steering them towards UT but we all know how that ended.

Lol . So can we assume his initial audition as a recruiter didn't go well?

I wish him well.
