Fess Hawkins brings proven JUCO production and instant frontcourt impact to Southern Miss
Fess Hawkins stands out as a high-motor forward with real rebounding punch and inside scoring feel: she arrived at Southern Miss after a Third Team JUCO All-American season at Vincennes, where she averaged 15.7 points and 14.5 rebounds per game, and she opened her Lady Eagle career with a 10-point, 10-rebound double-double. She is the kind of fit-coachers love for toughness, activity, and reliable energy in the paint; reports also describe her as a strong on- and off-court presence, which matters when you want production plus intangibles.
