New Clemson coach Dabo Swinney wants Baldwin linebacker Corico Hawkins, so Hawkins is sticking with his commitment to the Tigers.
“Corico wants to be there with the coaches who recruited him,” Baldwin coach Jesse Hicks said.
Hawkins, a member of the AJC’s The Georgia 150, took his mother to the Clemson-South Carolina game Saturday.
“That was the first time she went to a Clemson game, and I think that sealed the deal,” Hicks said.
Hawkins was an early commitment to Clemson, and was only looking at other schools in case the Tigers hired an outsider as coach.
“If you bring in a new coach, they may start going through the recruiting process again,” he said. “They may not run the same scheme and they may look for a different kind of player.”
The 6-foot-2, 220-pound Hawkins finished the 2008 regular season with 102 tackles, 16 for loss, three sacks and two interceptions. He was named the Region 3-AAA Player of the Year.
