Rockhurst Hawklets Hire New Wide Receivers Coach Ahead of August Camp

The Rockhurst Hawklets football program has hired John Smith as its new wide receivers coach, the school announced Thursday. Smith's addition comes as the Hawklets prepare for the upcoming season, which will be their first in the new Missouri Class 5, District 15. The program has seen a resurgence in recent years, with a 7-3 record in 2024 and a 9-1 mark in 2025. The hiring of Smith is expected to boost the program's recruiting efforts, particularly in the Kansas City area. With the addition of Smith, the Hawklets will look to build on their recent success and compete with other top programs in the district. The team will report to camp in August, with the first game scheduled for September 4.
