Nice commentary! His backs were very productive at both Louisville & GT, as we Hokies well remember. Looks like a solid hire...as you say!

McKenzie shared a photo on Twitter of Hawkins carrying the ball last year that detailed everything about the way he was holding it, all the way down to the the position of his fingers on the ball. That's an attention to detail that I can get behind.
