"Hawkins is expected to be one of the top running backs available when the portal officially opens Friday. He produced 1,804 yards from scrimmage, third-most in FBS, during his debut season with the Mean Green, earning All-America honors and American Conference Rookie of the Year. He is the latest North Texas player with plans to transfer after coach Eric Morris was hired by Oklahoma State on Nov. 25."
"Running backs Ashton Gray and Makenzie McGill II, defensive linemen Ethan Day and Joshua Pierce, linebacker Ethan Wesloski and safety Quinton Hammonds have also announced plans to transfer since North Texas closed out its season Saturday with a 49-47 victory over San Diego State in the Isleta New Mexico Bowl. After the first 12-win season in school history, the program is expecting significant roster attrition as it transitions from Morris to new coach Neal Brown. Morris is taking defensive coordinator Skyler Cassity and several assistant coaches, as well as general manager Raj Murti, with him to Oklahoma State."
"Hawkins, a 6-foot-2, 200-pound back from Shawnee, Oklahoma, was one of the top breakout freshman stars in the sport and a first-team all-conference selection. He surpassed 200 total yards six times for the Mean Green, including a 233-yard performance against San Diego State. He was offensive MVP of the bowl game."
Caleb Hawkins, a North Texas true freshman running back, plans to enter the NCAA transfer portal. He led FBS with 29 touchdowns and totaled 1,804 yards from scrimmage, earning All-America honors and American Conference Rookie of the Year. Multiple North Texas players have announced transfer plans, including wide receiver Wyatt Young and several defensive and offensive contributors. Coach Eric Morris left for Oklahoma State and took assistants and general manager Raj Murti, prompting expectations of significant roster attrition as Neal Brown becomes the new coach. Hawkins was offensive MVP of the Isleta New Mexico Bowl after a 233-yard game in a 49-47 victory.
