Ernest Hawkins scholarship bound

The 6-foot-2, 225-pound Hartnell College freshman linebacker is headed to the SEC to become a Gamecock.
 Hawkins will make it official on Wednesday when he signs with South Carolina, whose head coach is former Heisman Trophy winner and 49ers quarterback Steve Spurrier.
 It would be easy to understand if the all-conference linebacker is trying to grasp what happened.
 Over the course of five days, South Carolina saw film of Hawkins, home visited him, put him on plane and made an offer.
 Hawkins compiled 58 tackles this past season for the conference champion Panthers, recording three sacks while breaking up three passes.
