2023 Projection: Likely Starter

Following the departure of sixth year senior Nick Zecchino, the Boilers tapped into the transfer portal for an experienced long snapper. Who they found is a former three-year letterman at Missouri.

Daniel Hawthorne arrived as a walk-on in Columbia, Missouri as an undersized former offensive lineman before appearing in the Tigers’ final seven games as the long snapper.
