If Arkansas is serious about jump-starting its rebuild and giving fans a true star to rally around, the Razorbacks should be prepared to go all in for North Texas running back Caleb Hawkins.
For many casual viewers, the New Mexico Bowl served as their first introduction to Hawkins. What they witnessed was a dominant performance: 30 carries for 198 rushing yards and two touchdowns, plus 25 receiving yards and another score through the air. Hawkins completely controlled the game and carried North Texas to a thrilling 49–47 win. To some, it looked like a breakout moment.
