Tanner Hawkinson Verbals To KU

Tight End Commits After Camp

Rivals is reporting a verbal commitment from three-star tight end Tanner Hawkinson out of McPherson, Kansas. Hawkinson (6-6/230/4.8) made the commitment after attending KU's Super Jayhawk camp. He was reportedly a big target for the Kansas staff, which makes sense as both Derek Fine and Marc Jones will be seniors this year.
