Baylor wide receiver Ashtyn Hawkins has been granted an extra season of eligibility by the NCAA, as announced by head coach Dave Aranda on Wednesday.
Initially, Hawkins was granted a sixth season of eligibility thanks to the court case surrounding Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia before the NCAA revoked his extra season in mid-May; Hawkins has been in a limbo period awaiting a final ruling since then.
Pavia was given an extra year of eligibility after winning his lawsuit against the NCAA, which granted a waiver to all Division I athletes who attended a non-NCAA school for at least one season.
Hawkins was a reliable target for quarterback Sawyer Robertson last season and was second on the team in receptions (45), receiving yards (567) and touchdowns (5).
The Bears are slated to return wide receiver Josh Cameron (RSr.) and tight end Michael Trigg (RSr.). Baylor also added three essential pass catchers in the transfer portal: Alabama’s Kobe Prentice (Sr.), Texas State’s Kole Wilson (Sr.) and Colorado State’s Louis Brown IV (Sr.).
Before transferring to Baylor last offseason, Hawkins starred at Texas State for three seasons and played at Cisco Community College in 2020.
