My recollection was that he looks like a fine running back.

There was nothing eye-popping about his play or how he moves but he looked like a solid back.

Thoughts on Hawkins after week 1?
Nomad_Hokie • 09/03/25 02:04 PM ET
I thought he did pass the eye test
Riverguy • 09/04/25 08:43 PM ET
Idk man... I have both Tuten and Herbert above at least one of those guys
Nomad_Hokie • 09/06/25 04:07 PM ET
If drones would have hit him on that swing pass
VBpescador • 09/04/25 05:28 AM ET
...we could've made states!
Riverguy • 09/04/25 08:45 PM ET
Nice enough little town
LonghornHokie • 09/03/25 10:11 PM ET
Decent back, physical. He’s no Tuten, but he’s the closest thing we have. **
Zanderhokie • 09/03/25 09:19 PM ET
I would have given him 5-8 more carries than he got.**
Tech76G • 09/03/25 08:07 PM ET
Bread n butter **
astrohokie • 09/03/25 07:38 PM ET
Lacks break away speed. Decent between the tackles
OGHookie • 09/03/25 07:29 PM ET
All ya got, is that**
astrohokie • 09/03/25 06:42 PM ET
I thought he was decent.**
reestuart • 09/03/25 05:46 PM ET
He was as advertized
crazylane • 09/03/25 05:10 PM ET
Word on Stewart is YAC king
Nomad_Hokie • 09/06/25 04:16 PM ET
Looked more than serviceable to me. I expect he'll have some nice games.**
marcbvtgm • 09/03/25 04:18 PM ET
Jury still out but not optimistic he will be a consistent play maker.**
BG Hokie • 09/03/25 03:40 PM ET
Good vision, just lacks that quick acceleration like Tuten**
MKD • 09/03/25 04:15 PM ET
And Khalil Herbert.**
likehokies • 09/03/25 05:45 PM ET
decent but not great. tough to tell after one game.
kingofcassell • 09/03/25 03:16 PM ET
Thought his running was good but his passing blocking was extremely good
AirborneHokie96 • 09/03/25 02:36 PM ET
I thought and think we need to give Hawkins the rock more. But, it's also
91HokieBob • 09/03/25 03:14 PM ET
It’s because we need both of them. And the one we saw was just OK.**
Maroon Effect • 09/03/25 07:54 PM ET
We need a passing game threat to open up the running lanes more**
AirborneHokie96 • 09/03/25 08:51 PM ET
If Drones was a more consistent passer, then VT may not need to depend as

No one would question Hawkings 155 yards rushed.......
jonnyhawk • 09/03/25 02:09 PM ET
C'mon Johnny, give it a rest... we get it. We should play cupcakes
summervillehokie • 09/03/25 05:00 PM ET
I did not say "we should play cupcakes" did I, I said in Game 1.
jonnyhawk • 09/03/25 05:09 PM ET
You get your wish next year with two pre-season warm ups.
Truthahn • 09/03/25 02:49 PM ET
That's a loser mentality
SpeakToDamien • 09/03/25 10:45 PM ET
Again, not what I'm saying, just saying don't play them in game #1.
jonnyhawk • 09/04/25 10:35 AM ET
Beggars cannot be choosers
AirborneHokie96 • 09/04/25 12:59 PM ET
Not in game 1
jonnyhawk • 09/04/25 02:08 PM ET
Program has costs and needs the revenue. VT holds little to no leverage.**
AirborneHokie96 • 09/04/25 02:16 PM ET
Thank god someone on this board with a pulse! Amen brother!**
jonnyhawk • 09/03/25 05:10 PM ET
It depends on whether you want better television coverage which means...
EDGEMAN • 09/03/25 03:49 PM ET
Again, I say, just game 1. Not cupcake(((((s))))). First game.**
