Andrew Hawken Chosen as Finalist for FootballScoop Coordinator of the Year Award

Hope College offensive coordinator Andrew Hawken has been selected as one of four finalists for the FootballScoop NCAA Division III Coordinator of the Year.

Hawken is a finalist with Illinois College offensive coordinator Drew Chance, DePauw University (Indiana) Ryan McElwain and Linfield University (Oregon) defensive coordinator Jackson Vaughan.

The FootballScoop Coach of the Year program honors excellence in performance and character at every on-the-field position and key off-the-field posts in FBS, as well as coordinators at the FCS, Division II, Division III and NAIA levels.

Hawken has been Hope's offensive coordinator since 2017.

This season, Hawken directed an offense that set school records in points scored with 513, total offense with 6,096 yards, rushing offense with 3,437 and first downs with 312.

The Flying Dutchmen ranked in the Top 10 in the nation in several offensive categories, including scoring offense, rushing yards and total offense.

Hope finished the season with a 11-1 record and reached the third round of the NCAA Division III Playoffs for the first time in program history. The Flying Dutchmen recorded the first 10-0 regular season in school history and claimed an outright MIAA title.

Now in its 17th season, the FootballScoop Coach of the Year Program is the only coaching awards program where winners are selected by their fellow coaches. Coaches must have been nominated by a fellow coach to be eligible for the award, and each category's winner is selected by prior winners of that category.

Award recipients will be recognized at the American Football Coaches Association convention in Charlotte, N.C.
