JaKorey Hawkins
Doesn't get beat deep and rarely gives up the big play. The six seasons span two programs and three head coaches: Matt Luke, Lane Kiffin and Craig Bohl. The first one came in 2023: Mountain West Special Teams Player of the Week. A game that shows it: 5 tackles against Boise State — Week 9, 2023.
