Hawkins earned national attention in February 2007 during the [[National Signing Day]] press conference after he passionately expressed his disappointment in the attitude of a player's parent who had complained about the reduction in the players' time off before the summer condition program started, famously saying "It's Division I football! It's the Big 12!
