Florida WR Tank Hawkins Active for SEC Showdown Against MSU

Hawkins to Make Season Debut After Missing First Four Games Due to Injury

Florida wide receiver Tank Hawkins will make his season debut on Saturday when the No. 14 Gators host the Mississippi State Bulldogs in an SEC showdown. Hawkins has been sidelined since suffering a hamstring injury in fall camp, but he has been cleared to play and is expected to start against the Bulldogs.

Hawkins' Return a Boost to Florida's Offense

Hawkins is a dynamic playmaker who is expected to be a key contributor to Florida's offense this season. The junior wide receiver caught 21 passes for 294 yards and three touchdowns in 2021, and he is expected to be one of quarterback Anthony Richardson's favorite targets this season.

Hawkins' Return a Big Challenge for MSU Defense

Hawkins' return poses a major challenge for the Mississippi State defense, which has been one of the best in the SEC this season. The Bulldogs are allowing just 13.3 points per game, which is third in the conference. However, Hawkins is a game-changer who can score from anywhere on the field, so the Bulldogs will need to be aware of his presence at all times.

Hawkins Eager to Make an Impact

Hawkins is excited to finally make his season debut, and he is eager to make an impact for the Gators. He has been working hard to get back on the field, and he is confident that he can be a difference-maker for Florida.

Hawkins' Return Could Be a Turning Point for Florida

Hawkins' return could be a turning point for Florida, which has struggled to score points this season. The Gators have averaged just 20.3 points per game, which is 11th in the SEC. However, Hawkins is a big-play threat who can open up the field for Florida's offense. If he can stay healthy and contribute consistently, he could be the key to Florida's success this season.
