<p>standout football recruit cart kelly joins joey cheek as incoming tigers with this distinction. look for him on ESPN this month.</p>
<hr>
<p>College football jumps into the reality TV craze later this month and Cody Hawkins plays a starring role.</p>
<p>Hawkins, the standout quarterback from Bishop Kelly High who joins the Colorado football team next month, is one of six top recruits nationwide featured in “ESPNU Summer House.”</p>
<p>The show, which will begin an eight-week run on ESPNU and ESPN2 in late July, brought together the incoming freshmen for one week at a house in downtown Chicago.</p>
<p>The players competed in a series of competitions for the title of “Big Man on Campus.” Competitions included football skills, selling raffle tickets at a White Sox game and performing a dance routine at a WNBA game.</p>
<p>Hawkins, who was in Chicago for filming the third week of June, is in Boise this week for a high school all-star game (he wore a Colorado jersey at Wednesday’s practice at the Boise State indoor facility).</p>
<p>His father, Dan Hawkins, is the former BSU coach and new Colorado coach.</p>
<p>Cody said he didn’t hesitate when offered a spot on the show.</p>
<p>“I just thought it would be a really fun opportunity because you always see (reality shows) on TV and you always want to know how much of it is staged and how much of it is real,” Hawkins said. “It was a lot more real than I thought it would be.”</p>
<p>His competition included UCLA wide receiver Terrence Austin, Arkansas wide receiver London Crawford, Florida receiver/quarterback Jarred Fayson, Princeton receiver/cornerback Cart Kelly and Texas Tech quarterback Taylor Potts.</p>
<p>Former NFL linebacker and current ESPN analyst Chris Spielman served as the house dad.</p>
<p>“He still looks like a linebacker right now, so we were all scared that if we did something wrong in the house he was going to take us out,” Hawkins said. “But he was a really nice guy. He was awesome to hang around with for the week.”</p>
<p>The show will air at 5:30 p.m. Tuesdays on ESPNU beginning July 25 and at 10 p.m. Wednesdays on ESPN2.</p>
<p>Each of the eight episodes lasts 30 minutes.</p>
