A four-star recruit out of high school, Hawkins has not played a snap for the Buckeyes this season after redshirting the 2016 season. He previously missed time during spring practice for academic reasons.

An Ohio State spokesperson was unable to immediately confirm whether Hawkins was transferring from the program.
