Texas Tech guard Elijah Hawkins enters NCAA transfer portal

Texas Tech guard Elijah Hawkins has entered the NCAA transfer portal, On3’s Jamie Shaw has learned. A former Minnesota guard, Kentucky targeted him during the 2024 transfer cycle before he ultimately committed to the Red Raiders.

Hawkins started 34 of 35 games this past season at Texas Tech, averaging 9.1 points and a Big 12-leading 6.5 assists per game. That came after one year at Minnesota, where he scored 9.5 points and dished a career-high 7.5 assists per game as a junior.

Hawkins began his career at Howard before entering the portal and heading to Minnesota. He does not have any eligibility left, but is entering the transfer portal amid lawsuits against the NCAA that could result in another year, depending on a judge’s ruling.
