Ty Hawkins is more than just a gifted quarterback. He's the complete package, according to Lady Bird Johnson coach T.P. Miller. “Ty is a phenomenal athlete," Miller told the San Antonio News-Express. "He's a competitor, and he’s an all-around good human being. He’s an A student in the classroom, and he’s a competitor on the field. He's everything you expect from a star quarterback, but only more.” Before leaving for IMG Academy ahead of his final season of high school football, Hawkins rewrote the record book for quarterbacks in the San Antonio area. In his career at Johnson, Hawkins had 4,260 passing yards and 54 passing touchdowns. Hawkins also rushed for 1,753 yards and 22 touchdowns at Johnson. He's also a standout outfielder/third baseman with MLB Draft potential, according to Perfect Game's rankings.
