Baylor Wide Receiver Ashtyn Hawkins Granted Extra Season of Eligibility

The NCAA has granted Baylor wide receiver Ashtyn Hawkins an extra season of eligibility, SicEm365 has learned through sources.

Before transferring to Baylor last offseason, Hawkins starred at Texas State for three seasons and played at Cisco Community College in 2020. He will be entering his sixth collegiate season this fall.

Hawkins was a reliable target for quarterback Sawyer Robertson all season and was second on the team in receptions (45), receiving yards (567) and touchdowns (5).

The Bears are slated to return Hawkins, wide receiver Josh Cameron (RSr.) and tight end Michael Trigg (RSr.). Baylor also added two essential pass catchers in the transfer portal: Alabama’s Kobe Prentice (Sr.) and Texas State’s Kole Wilson (Sr.).

The ruling comes on the heels of Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia being granted an extra year of eligibility after winning his lawsuit against the NCAA. The NCAA granted a waiver to all Division I athletes who attended a non-NCAA school for at least one season.
