One of the top quarterbacks in the 2025 cycle is making a move to a recognized high school football program ahead of his senior season.

Ty Hawkins, a four-star QB out of San Antonio currently committed to TCU, announced that he is transferring to IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla.

Hawkins played the last three seasons at Claudia Taylor Johnson High in San Antonio.

“At IMG Academy, I want to go play great completion, compete and learn as much as I can before enrolling in college early,” he told On3’s Chad Simmons. “IMG has great offensive linemen, they have great receivers to throw to, and I am excited about getting down there and playing with those guys.”

IMG has seen a number of alumni go on to excel at the college and professional ranks. Ahead of the 2023-24 NFL season, 24 former Ascenders were on NFL rosters. IMG set a record at the 2024 NFL Draft with the first-round selections of offensive lineman JC Latham and QB J.J. McCarthy, as per the school’s website, it became the first to have alumni selected in the first round of the NFL Draft for five consecutive years.

In his two seasons under center, Hawkins has thrown for over 4,200 yards, completing 262 passes and hurling 54 touchdowns to just 12 interceptions. The dual-threat signal-caller has also rushed for 24 scores across his 33 career games at CTJ — which finished with a 10-2 record last season.

“I will bring leadership to IMG and I will go in, work hard and do my best to help the team,” Hawkins added. “My goal there is to get better, play against the best and come out of the high school as prepared as I can for the speed of college football.”

Hawkins recently competed at the Elite 11 Finals in Los Angeles alongside 19 other top QBs in the 2025 cycle. The 6-foot, 189-pounder is the No. 144 overall prospect and No. 12 QB in the 2025 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He ranks No. 87 overall and No. 9 under center in the 2025 On300.
