Hawkins on the U
“I chose the University of Utah because of the coaching staff. The staff took a lot of time coming to watch me play. Upon meeting them and talking with Coach Brown, he was extremely personable. The rest of the staff are also extremely personable. Throughout my recruiting process they always kept in touch with me and checked on me. Their history as a coaching staff speaks for itself. Utah just felt like it was the right place for me.”
