As NJ.com reported Monday, the Rutgers football staff is heavily in the mix with former Camden (N.J.) wide receiver Brad Hawkins, who currently attends Suffield (Conn.) Academy while committed to the Michigan Wolverines.
Hawkins says he's already a qualifier and could have attended Michigan immediately out of high school, but qualified late (mid-July).
Now a 6-2, 210-pounder, after gaining 20 pounds of functional mass, Hawkins is off to a fast start to the year after accumulating 14 catches for 192 yards and three TDs in his first action at Suffield as an X-receiver.
