CINCINNATI — Fall camp is underway for the Cincinnati Bearcats football team, but that doesn't mean a break from talking to recruits. The team sent out two more notable offers this week starting with 2024 four-star QB Michael Hawkins out of Allen (Texas).

According to On3 consensus, Hawkins is the 197th-ranked player nationally and the 15th-rated QB. He is rated 190th on the ESPN 300 and is the site's sixth-best passer. 

Hawkins holds nine offers now from teams like Michigan, Alabama, and Arkansas. Oklahoma leads the way in this race, with On3 giving them a 49.3% of landing the QB. UC sits at 1.5%.

Hawkins' nickname may as well be 'Wiggle' because he displays plenty of it under the Friday night lights. The dual-threat talent primarily operates out of shotgun (like most QBs these days) and is a sound operator on RPOs. He has blazing speed in the open field and can break tackles at all three levels.

In terms of passing, the 6-foot-2, 186-pound prospect does a nice job keeping his eyes downfield and using space to step in the pocket on bullet throws. He works through progressions marginally well and will need to tighten up an elongated throwing motion. All in all, there is a lot to work with in Hawkins. Check out his highlights here.

The other offer went out to four-star 2024 tight end Kylan Fox out of Grayson (Georgia).

According to On3 consensus, Fox is the 195th-ranked player nationally and the 10th-ranked tight end. He is ranked 208th on the ESPN 300 and is the eighth-best tight end. 

Fox boasts 34 offers from schools like Georgia, NC State, and Alabama. On3 gives Georgia (20.8%) the best chance of landing him right now.

At 6-foot-5, 215 pounds, Fox has all the physical makings of the next great UC tight end. He is a mauling defensive end on the other side of the ball and brings that mentality to his in-line blocking ability. The nasty edge/block-through-the-whistle traits are evident in his film, and he is a man amongst boys in the receiving game. 

His route tree development is still coming along, but the traits are present. Check out some highlights here.
