A three-star recruit from Chaminade-Madonna High School in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, Hawkins helped his school win a state championship not long after he committed to Kentucky over Miami and Oklahoma.

The defensive end spent two seasons in Lexington. A redshirt in 2018, last season he appeared in nine games. After recording a tackle for loss against Vanderbilt, his first career sack and forced fumble came on one play against Louisville.
