Dabari Hawkins brings length, ball production, and veteran presence to Tarleton State’s secondary
Hawkins is a 6-foot-4 defensive back with proven playmaking traits, posting 3 interceptions and 8 pass breakups in 2024 after 12 tackles and a breakup in limited 2023 action. Tarleton describes him as a veteran presence who started the final eight games, and his size, physicality, and ability to disrupt routes make him more than just a stat line—he fits best in a press-heavy or matchup-based defense that values length, toughness, and reliable perimeter run support.
