Washington State’s all-time rebound machine and a high-efficiency frontcourt anchor
Hawkinson was a rugged, high-motor forward who gave Washington State reliable production every night: in his final college season, he averaged 11.9 points and 8.5 rebounds while shooting 52.3% from the field, and he finished his Cougars career as the program’s all-time leader in rebounds and double-doubles.[4][1] What makes him especially valuable is not just the numbers but the feel: he was a relentless glass-eater, efficient scorer, and steady, physical presence who could fit a team needing toughness, rebounding, and consistency more than flash.[1][4]
