I remember the first time I interviewed Artrell Hawkins as a UC Bearcat. There he stood, about 5-9 and maybe 170 pounds at the time, and out came the voice of a 6-5, 300-pound behemoth. Kind of a cross between Barry White and Lou Rawls for you soulful, crooning connoisseurs.
We all thought he might try a media career at some point. Sure enough, many of you may have seen him on the scoreboard at UC’s Bearcat Bowl III, or on the FSN Ohio replay doing sideline reports.
