Bowling Green commit Darian Hawkins brings big-frame linebacker upside and proven defensive production
Darian Hawkins looks like a strong fit for Bowling Green because he combines rare size for a linebacker, at 6-4 and 230 pounds, with documented production and leadership at Chaminade, where he was a 2025 team captain and earned All-Mission League First Team, All-Area First Team, and All-State Honorable Mention recognition. His 2025 high school stat line also shows impact plays, including 38 total tackles and 9 QB hurries in six games, pointing to a disruptive edge and high motor. For a team wanting length, toughness, and room to develop, he has clear upside.
