North Texas Mean Green

Threw for 2,885 yards and added 431 rushing yards with eight rushing scores in his first year at Oklahoma. Transfer from North Texas. Led the FBS in passing yards last season (4,379). Electric throws on tape. Arm strength to access all levels, but decision making must improve. Very agile for his size and his release is so quick. Has a whip for an arm and isn’t afraid to attack small windows.... Mestemaker's pocket composure and anticipation over the middle are rare for a player with so little starting experience, and there is a foundation worth developing. His touch, post-snap processing lapses, and mechanical consistency all have room to improve, and how far he gets with those will determine his ceiling as an NFL starter."

37 blocking...#1 in Y/RR in CFB; (Skyler Bell was #4, Makai Lemon was #5)... former high school quarterback who relies heavily on his shiftiness, elite route-running precision, and ability to manipulate defenders to create yards after the catch. These traits are highly coveted in a modern NFL slot role.

the nation's leading freshman in rushing yards, and he's still flying too far under the radar. With a 91.3 running grade, Hawkins is PFF's no. 2 RB in the nation this year behind only the indomitable Jeremiyah Love. Hawkins’ statline boasts 121 carries for 744 yards and 11 touchdowns on the year after his monster performance of nearly 200 yards and 4 TDs in the Mean Green’s last game against Navy. He's also contributed well in the passing game, with 24 receptions for 273 yards and 4 TDs through the air.
