Hawley was named to the Collegiate All-Americans (2007-2010) and team MVP (2007) while playing for the University of California Golden Bears which won the NCAA Rugby National Championship in 2010.[1] Subsequently, he was brought in to the USA Eagles Player Pool. Soon after his test debut against Georgia in June 2009, he was asked to join the USA national rugby union team on their 2010 Autumn tour, playing with the USA Sevens in several tournaments as well as the USA National Team in the 2011 Rugby World Cup[2].

He couldn’t talk so he would write pages of notes on his take of the game and what I needed to do. After every game he would come over and ask me what I thought, then he would give his insights. He was a great teacher and coach."[7] [8][9][10]
