The top seven schools on Hawkins' list are Ohio State, USC, Alabama, Pitt, Cincinnati, Penn State and Kentucky.

Initially, Hawkins listed Ohio State and Cincinnati among his top four, but he didn't list any other schools.

In March, Hawkins said he was moving his commitment date back to give himself more time to take visits.

The 6'3, 265-pound defensive tackle is the No. 12 player from the state of Ohio and the No. 23 defensive tackle for the Class of 2018, according to 247Sports.
