Michigan State wide receivers coach Courtney Hawkins' daughter, Comari Hawkins, recently transferred from Houston to Michigan State to join the women's track and field program.
Not only has Hawkins held his current position since 2020, but he was also, of course, a four-year letterwinner and two-time first-team All-Big Ten honoree at Michigan State.
Now, Hawkins has another special connection to his alma mater, as his daughter, Comari Hawkins, recently joined the women's track and field program after spending her freshman season at the University of Houston. "Our middle daughter, Comari, enrolled this summer," Courtney told reporters on Thursday. "Actually transferred from the University of Houston. And I couldn't be more proud as a dad to have my baby girl here. I missed a lot, obviously, coaching. There's times where she had to run and I didn't get a chance to see her, but now, hopefully, I'll get a chance to watch her run a little bit.
"And it's been great for our family. I think if my wife was here, she would be smiling; I'm smiling. My oldest daughter, my youngest daughter smiling. And it's kind of like having a family unit back together a little bit. It's not like wearing this one . It's like wearing this, nothing like it. I tried to tell her earlier.
