Michael Hawkins Jr. Named as Potential Transfer Portal Candidate

MORGANTOWN, West Virginia — The future of Michael Hawkins Jr. at West Virginia University continues to be one of the biggest storylines surrounding the Mountaineer football program, and a recent social media post has only added to the uncertainty about whether the talented quarterback will return to Morgantown for the 2027 season. SleeperCFB, a prominent college football account on X, recently included Hawkins on a list of 19 quarterbacks who could potentially enter the transfer portal this offseason. The list also featured several recognizable names, including Bryce Underwood, Marcel Reed, Demond Williams Jr. and CJ Bailey. While the post was speculative and offered no specific evidence that Hawkins intends to leave West Virginia, his inclusion is certainly noteworthy considering the questions that have surrounded his future in recent weeks.
