Versatile South Alabama Guard with Playmaking Upside
Hawthorne is a 6'2" guard whose value comes more from two-way activity and feel than raw scoring volume: in the 2026 season at South Alabama, he averaged 2.7 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1.0 assists, and 0.7 steals in 10.5 minutes across 18 games, showing he can chip in across the box score[1][2]. He’s coming off a stronger Rockhurst stretch, where he earned All-GLVC Freshman Team honors and followed with a 15.1-point, 5.5-rebound, 4.4-assist sophomore season, which suggests real on-ball upside if his shot and efficiency stabilize[8][9].
