Michael Hawkins Jr. says OU football QB competition ‘is nothing different’ to him
NORMAN — True freshman Michael Hawkins Jr. will start for the 18th-ranked OU football team on Saturday when it travels to take on Auburn, head coach Brent Venables announced Monday night on his weekly coach’s show.
Hawkins will step in as quarterback for Jackson Arnold, who turned the ball over three times during the first half of the Sooners‘ 25-15 loss to Tennessee.
When Hawkins entered the game to replace Arnold, he completed 11 of his 18 passes for 132 yards and a touchdown.
Venables was impressed with Hawkins’ playmaking ability.
“He’s a tremendous athlete,” Venables said postgame. “There were several times there where we had edge pressure that we didn’t block and he got outside of it. So he has some playmaking ability, and he can hurt you with his legs.”
The Sooners will face the Tigers at 2:30 p.m. Saturday on ABC.
