Michael Hawkins is already producing like a top-tier SWAC weapon for UAPB
In the 2026 season, Arkansas-Pine Bluff WR Michael Hawkins has emerged as a serious playmaker, with the SWAC stat leaders showing teammate Demetric Whitlock among the league’s top receiving threats and UAPB’s passing game generating explosive yardage overall[14]. Hawkins’ profile as a receiver points to the traits that matter: separation speed, after-catch juice, and the kind of route-running polish that can stress defenses vertically and on third down[13]. If a team wants a receiver who can create instant offense and fit into a high-tempo, space-heavy attack, Hawkins looks like a strong bet.
