How long have you been playing football?
Since the third grade.
 
How did you know you wanted to play football at Wake?
I guess from the recruiting process – I wanted to go to an ACC school that was close to home, and Wake was the best fit.
 
Were you eyeing Wake before then?
It was completely random. I didn’t think I would ever go to Wake Forest. Growing up, I wanted to play basketball somewhere in college.
 
So you played basketball in high school?
Yeah, I played AAU basketball with John Wall, CJ Leslie and other big names like that.
 
Did you play any other sports?
I ran track and cross country.
 
What activities, besides football, do you do on campus?
I play videogames and watch Netflix. And hang out with friends
 
Do you have any secret talents?
I used to be really good at skateboarding. I stopped ‘cause I got too old. I actually sing pretty well too.
 
Did you ever do choir when you were little?
Absolutely not! I sang in the shower, that’s about it.
 
What were you like in high school? Did you fit into a stereotype?
I was kind of a nerd in high school.
 
Really?
Yeah. (Laughs) I hung out with the kids who loved video games and would sword fight at lunch.
 
Do you have any nicknames?
Depending on who you’re talking to … my mom calls me “Matty.” My friends call me “Matty Ice.”
 
What is your worst habit?
Forgetting people’s names.
 
When was your first kiss?
First kiss was, um, in sixth grade.
 
Want to spill any details about that?
It was a full-blown makeout playing spin the bottle. Everyone played that!
 
What’s the most embarrassing thing you’ve ever done to get a girl’s attention?
Probably like changing my course of going to class. I may have a class right next door, and I’ll walk around the whole school just to see her or get her attention.
 
Have you ever seen any chick flicks to impress a girl?
Of course!
 
Which ones?
The Notebook, Bridesmaids, Dear John …
 
I love Dear John. Did you like any of them?
Bridesmaidswas funny. I kind of suffered through the rest of them though.
 
What do you look for in a woman?
Someone who can put up with me and someone who’s not stuck up. And they have to have pretty eyes.
 
Who is your dream girl?
Julie Henderson … or Mila Kunis.
 
What is your biggest pet peeve?
It’s hard to explain. It’s like when, if someone was eating a bagel and there’s crumbs left and they pick it up with their thumb and eat it; and when people drink the last bit out of their cereal bowl; and when people cough … I’m sort of a germaphobe.
 
The person whose opinion matters the most to me is?
Probably my mom.
 
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
“The sky’s the limit.”
 
What is your dream job?
I would love to play in the NFL, but if that doesn’t work I want to be an investment banker.
 
What’s your favorite NFL team?
That’s a good question. I’m gonna go with the Packers.
 
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
In 10 years I’ll be 30, so I’ll be married with a little boy and then one on the way. I’m gonna be that dad that like goes on field trips and can beat his kid in all of the videogames but still be making good money.

With his impeccable fashion sense, outgoing personality, and uncanny ability to make friends everywhere he goes, Dyllon is perfect boyfriend material for any guy out there looking for the one. Sorry ladies, but you can still be his friend. Don’t be shy fellas, Dyllon is single and ready to mingle ;)

Minor: Spanish/World Politics
Relationship Status: Single

 

What do you look for in a guy?
I’m more into masculine guys. I like them funny, sweet, intelligent and able to hold my attention and keep up with my super extraverted personality. They should be fashionable and able to shop with me, but also chill around and play videogames! Not to be blunt, but they must be SO HOT!

What are some of your turn offs? 
Super feminine guys, quiet, socially awkward, boring, bad smell, bad hair, bad style… ehhh maybe my standards are high?

Which television shows do you never miss? 
Well, now that I’m in college, I don’t watch much television, but when I did, I would never ever miss an episode of Gossip Girl or One Tree Hill.

What activities are you involved in on campus? 
I am the Special Events Coordinator of the Campus Activities Board and Admission Overnight Hosting Coordinator and Tour Guide. I participate in HEAT Hip-Hop Dance Crew, Choir, and sometimes I go to the Rainbow Alliance meetings.

What are some adjectives your friends would use to describe you?
Outgoing,vivacious, bold, spontaneous, nice, smart, friendly, “crazy mofo”, sexy, and funny.

What is your ideal date?
I really like to explore big cities and find random things, have a nice lunch, go shopping, have dinner, and then go out to a crazy, fun club!

What is the most adventurous thing you have ever done? 
Well, I’m pretty crazy, but this one time at 12 AM on April Fools’ Day, two of my best friends and I jumped in a car, and drove to Niagara Falls. All the while, I skipped a communications midterm the next day. YOLO, or YODO (You Only Die Once). This list of “adventurous things” can go on forever.

What is the cheesiest pick up line you have heard?
Boy, your feet must hurt because you’ve been running through my mind all day! Please never use this…

If your friends compared you to an animal, which animal would it be and why?
“A Cheetah because they’re cute and fast, and obviously because cheetah print is so in now.” – Maggie Haag

If you were given the day off from all of your everyday responsibilities, how would you spend it? 
I would probably make all my friends take their day off and come with me exploring and doing random things. Typically, this would include:shopping, dancing, harassing innocent people on the street, and much more.

Name: Jacob Dominy
School: WM
Year: 2014
Major: Government, Public Policy
Relationship Status: In a relationship
Hometown: Springfield, VA

What are you involved in on campus? On campus I am part of the W&M Young Democrats and Mock Trial Team, as well as the up-and-coming Short Story Club.

What are your personal hobbies and interests? In my free time I enjoy wasting time. I specifically like sleeping, playing outdated video games, whistling, listening to music, and watching Seinfeld for the nth time.

How did you get started DJing and producing music? 
I started getting really into electronic music the end of my senior year of high school, and by that point I had already learned to play a bunch of different instruments (guitar, bass, clarinet, what have you), so at the time it just seemed like the natural progression of things. Plus I’m a huge computer nerd, and I always have been, so it just felt right to use it to make music.
 
What are your favorite types of music? 
I tend to be all over the place, but I particularly like house music, indie/instrumental, and I also shamelessly love pop music. 

Are there any songs you’ve had in heavy rotation recently? 
Sunshine by Avicii and David Guetta is a favorite of mine right now, but Coheed & Cambria just released a song called “Sentry the Defiant” that I am now obsessed with.

Describe your personal style: Halfway to being hipster, but not pretentious enough to follow through on it.

What is your favorite thing about PC?

I guess the social aspect of it.
How do you feel about the new changes they’re making this year at PC? 
They changed the basement in Slavin. I enjoy that.
What do you look for in a girl? 
Eyes. She has to have eyes. No wait a personality, she has to make me laugh/laugh at everything I say. And more than anything she has to be approved by Billy Ricci. And also if she’s attractive it doesn’t hurt.

Do you like living in McDermott or Aquinas more and why? 
McDermott because the rooms were bigger. There’s really no other reason behind it. Although I really like my floor on Aquinas.

 

What would you put on an eHarmony dating profile? 
I enjoy girls who know how to take care of themselves but don’t care about how they come off on the surface and who can actually hold a conversation with you instead of trying to get by solely on their looks.

Keynon Hawkins is a modern campus cutie who’s funny, outgoing and intelligent. But don’t let the silliness fool you, when’s it’s time to get down to business Keynon makes sure he puts his game face on. What else would you expect from a future corporate lawyer?

When talking about a difficult event he was trying to organize, he said that he was down for the challenge. See how he reacted to taking the challenge of our campus cutie survey.

Name: Keynon Hawkins
Hometown: Philadelphia Pa
School: IUP
Year: Sophomore
Major:  Economics Pre-Law
Relationship status: Happily Single
Zodiac Sign: Team Gemini All day Baby!

On-Campus Activities:
Proud member of Kappa Sigma fraternity, Vice-president of the residence hall counsel for Wallwork Hall, Public Relations Chair for the Inter-Fraternity Council

What would be your ideal first date:
I am a firm believer in the notion that people can have a fun and romantic time without spending too much money. Some of the best dates I had were simply just walking around L.O.V.E Park and around downtown Philadelphia, talking and getting to know the person I’m with.

What would be a dealmaker in a relationship:
If you’re a bit quirky, nerdy, and intelligent then you would definitely have my full attention. I think people are most beautiful if they are themselves and do not try too hard to make themselves seem attractive or appealing. 

And a deal breaker:
Being too self-centered or overconfident! If a majority of your time is spent looking in the mirror, taking pictures of yourself, or constantly talking about yourself then you can just strut right on by me.

Celebrity Crushes:
Zoe Saldana, Rihanna, and Helena Bonham Carter (I have a strong admiration for acting abilities)

If you were on a deserted island, which three things would you have to have with you:
Assuming that that the island is tropical, food and water should already be in abundance in which case I’ll need a machete (For scavenging food and wood and also for defensive reasons) a first aid kit in case of an emergency and a satellite radio so I can make calls for help and broadcast distress signals.

If you won the lottery, what would you do:
I would first use a portion of the money to make sure I put my mom and my immediate family up somewhere nice and comfortable. Then I’ll use the rest of the money to continue my education.

Any Hobbies:
Well I’m a huge game nerd! I’ve been playing video games since about the age of 3! I am also somewhat of a movie freak I can watch almost any movie as long as I don’t find it asinine.

Favorite place in Lansing/East Lansing? 
Blue Midnight, just because it’s so chill.


Favorite place on MSU campus? 

Honestly, I spend most of my time at the library and not in cafeterias or other halls. But I love going to the MSU Dairy Store and getting a sesquicentennial shake. It just takes the stress of classes away for a short time.

Dream job? 

To be a consultant for a firm or company. I’ve always seen myself in a business environment and have always enjoyed the idea of taking hold of something and making it my own and watching it grow into something great. I think I can do that by going into consulting as I help companies grow. 


Hobbies? 

My hobbies include hunting, shooting, riding my bike, paintball on the weekends, video games and just hanging out with friends. I don’t go hunting too often because of work, but when I do it’s just so relaxing. 


What do you find attractive in a person?

It’s a mixture of qualities. They would have to be able to have a meaningful conversation, and make me laugh at the same time. Communication is key for me and it’s what I appreciate most in a person that makes me like them.

Perfect date?

Honestly, just something simple. Go out to dinner at a nice restaurant, then maybe go bowling or on a walk (depending on the significant other), and just end the night alone, maybe watching a movie together on the couch and talk. Like I said, I like to keep it simple. I don’t feel the need to impress someone with an extravagant date that doesn’t show who I am. 


Favorite pickup line?

I don’t ever use pickup lines, but I’ve got to go with “My friends over there bet me that I couldn’t talk to the prettiest girl in the room. Want to use their money to buy some drinks?”


Favorite saying?

“Today I will do what others won’t, so tomorrow I can do what others can’t.”

Where you see yourself in 5 years?

I see myself doing well in my career of consulting. I will have my own small starter house, my own car that’s paid off and someone I can hope to spend the rest of my life with. I will either be in Michigan, or in Oregon (my favorite state), working my job and working towards making my life and my significant other’s life better. I won’t have kids at this time since that will be a few years down the road.

Coolest thing you’ve done this year?

Not necessarily this year, but I would have to say going skydiving over summer. I plan on doing more of it this summer too. It was honestly one of the best/most exciting times of my life because it was something different that removed me from the boring norms of school and work for less than 10 minutes.

Any idea what you want to do with those degrees? 
Probably be either an actuary or a high school teacher.
 
Why those careers? I’d be an actuary for the money, and I’d be a teacher because I love to teach. I tutor already and it’s just something that I really enjoy doing. Plus I’d be able to coach soccer part time or something. We’ll see how the actuary thing goes first.
 
Where did you go to high school? Xavarian Brothers High School
 
Any big differences now going to school with girls? 
It’s different, but there’s no major change. My attention span is down, but there’s nothing too major about it.
 
I noticed that you have a bit of scruff going on. Are you an advocate of No Shave November? 
I’m an advocate of Mo-Vember, which is for the mustaches. But I can’t grow a mustache, so I’m growing a little scruff just cause I want to do something at least. I do “no-shave” to a certain extent, as you can see I’m not so homeless.
 
What do you look for in a girl? 
Smart, that’s probably where I’d start off. If you can have a good conversation with someone, that’s a good stepping-stone. I also like people who are very athletic; I like playing sports and doing stuff outside, and I think a personality match is pretty important.
 
What are your hobbies? 
Numero uno: Soccer. I do lots of soccer stuff: play, watch it on TV, etc. Also I love hiking, I went on multiple hikes last summer. There’s also the etcetera stuff: I like the occasional reading, and video games. Lots of video games.
 
How do you procrastinate on your homework? 
Video games. Yeah…it’s a problem.
 
What is your favorite music? Artists, etc? 
I listen to a hodgepodge, though my favorite type is alternative rock. Ann Berlin, New Politics, Death Cab. My favorite song is “Mad World” by Gary Jules. It’s totally not alternative rock though…
 
Any music you’re kind of embarrassed to admit is on your iPod? 
I will admit that I have Kelly Clarkson on my iPod. I also listen to songs not in English: I have one song in German, a couple in Icelandic, some in Japanese.
 
How did you stumble upon these songs? 
FIFA video game soundtrack. I actually get a lot of music from video game soundtracks. If I hear something good on a video game I will get it.
 
What is your favorite thing about PC? 
Probably the size of it. It’s pretty small, so you get to see people every day. I have friends at larger colleges and they tell me about people they met freshman year who they never see anymore. Here you get to see your friends every day no matter what.
 
Any Thanksgiving traditions? 
The newest one is that I get the turkey leg; I always get dibs on that one. Turkey is my favorite food, besides pecan pie.
 
Ultimate question: whipped cream or ice cream with your pie? I’d have to go with whipped cream. Doesn’t melt on you.
 
What would you do if you had a million dollars? 
Pay off the rest of school, buy a car, maybe a take a trip to Europe, and save the rest for whatever I need in the future. You know these economic times.
 
What kind of car would you get? 
Probably a Mazda RX7, or a Mitsubishi Lancer. Or an electric car, just for laughs.
 
If you could battle anybody, who would it be and why? 
Cristiano Ronaldo. He needs to get knocked down a few pegs.
 
Who would win? I’d win, he’s too much of a pretty boy. He’s a good athlete but I just don’t like the guy.
 
One of your most embarrassing moments? 
I was at my friends house one day and his little sister was really bored, and she wanted to draw make-up on me so I let her have it. But then my friend took a picture of it on his phone and is using it as blackmail against me.
 
What is something very few people know about you? 
I’m a brunette…just kidding.
 
Talk to me about your hair: When was the last time you cut it? June, 2010.
 
Any particular reason why you haven’t cut it? 
I’m too lazy to get it cut, and I don’t mind it long, it hasn’t been too much of a problem yet. I’m just waiting for it to bother me, or I may get it cut at some random time, but I’m not revealing that just yet.
 
When was the last time you had a good cry?
Last time I actually teared up was at the end of Harry Potter 7: Part 2. The whole Snape thing was a tear-jerker. Everyone in the theater was tearing up…and I was one of them…
 
Either…
Cats or dogs: Dogs. I’ve had more pleasant experiences with dogs.
Cake or ice cream: Cake.
Comedies or horrors: Comedies. I recently saw Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, which was amazing.
Britney Spears or Ke$ha: Britney Spears, obvi. Particularly her oldies.
