Shawn Hawkins brings veteran forward production and two-way polish to Long Beach State
In the 2025-26 season, Shawn Hawkins has been a steady frontcourt contributor for Long Beach State, producing 13.1 points, 6.0 rebounds, 0.8 assists, and 0.7 steals per game while shooting 47.9% from the field and 39.7% from three, a strong blend for a 6-6 forward.[3] He looks like the kind of rugged-yet-efficient wing-forward every coach loves: active on the glass, capable as a spacing threat, and experienced enough to avoid the empty-calorie highlight reel. His profile suggests a player who fits best on a team that wants toughness, versatility, and reliable floor spacing from the four, with enough edge to survive physical conference play.[2][3]
