Michael Hawkins Jr. is set to start for Oklahoma in week 5

What’s your perspective on:

Are these the best announcers for the Oklahoma vs. Auburn game, or would you prefer someone else?

Have an interesting take?

After the major quarterback situation, Oklahoma’s head coach Brent Venables finally decided to go with Michael Hawkins Jr. as their starting quarterback this weekend. He made the announcement on Monday night and confirmed that Hawkins will take over Jackson Arnold, who started the first four games of the season.

ESPN reported Venables’s statement, “Mike will have his opportunity to run out there and be our guy and see where we’re at and try to give us a kick start.” Hawkins has a golden opportunity to outshine and show his HC and teammates his real potential. Last week, when the Oklahoma Sooners were struggling in the second quarter over Arnold, Hawkins stepped in. He finished the game with 7 out of 16 attempts for 54 yards, along with two lost fumbles and an interception.

The 6-foot-1-inch player is a true freshman from Frisco, Texas. So far, he has completed 11 out of 18 passes for 132 total yards and recorded a touchdown. He additionally rushed for 22 yards. The Oklahoma Sooners’ offense needed him because of his ability to scramble and because of the speed and agility he brings to the team.

Venables complimented Hawkins and mentioned, “He’s a tremendous athlete. There were several times there where we had edge pressure that we didn’t block, but he got outside of it. So he has some playmaking ability, and he can hurt you with his legs.” HC’s comment reflects the amount of trust he holds in the young talent. Let’s see how Hawkins’s performance on Saturday will help the Sooners bounce back stronger.
