Ashtyn Hawkins News, Rumors, Updates - Baylor Bears

Declares for NFL Draft Hawkins has declared for the 2026 NFL Draft, he announced on his personal X account.

Impact Hawkins logged at least 40 receptions and 550 receiving yards in all four of his collegiate seasons. He spent the first two campaigns with Texas State before spending the last two at Baylor. In 2025, he caught 53 of 85 targets for 621 yards but failed to find the end zone. The 5-foot-10 wideout had caught 15 touchdown passes prior to 2025.

Records reception Hawkins (not injury related) logged one reception for eight yards during Saturday's 41-17 defeat to Arizona.

Impact Even though the Baylor-Arizona's first half included a suspended Hawkins, he continued his streak of games with at least one reception. Ideally for him, Week 14's Houston-Baylor matchup will include a better output now that he can play all of the contest. Because of a first-half suspension Saturday, Hawkins was limited and tied his season low in catches.

Will miss first half Saturday Hawkins is listed out for the first half of Saturday's game against Arizona.

Impact Hawkins will miss the first half of Saturday's encounter after getting ejected during the previous matchup where he threw a punch. The senior wide receiver will still be expected to step on the field for the second half of the game. He has totaled 49 receptions for 578 yards across 10 appearances.

Ejected after throwing punch Hawkins was ejected from Saturday's game against Utah after throwing a punch, Jason Scheer of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Hawkins' night will end prematurely, as the senior wideout tossed a punch during the fourth quarter of the Bears' blowout loss. He caught seven passes for 119 yards before exiting. While his absence won't have an impact on the outcome of Saturday's game, Hawkins could face further repercussions, which could include a suspension.

NOVEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Productive in Saturday's loss Hawkins caught 7 of 9 targets for 95 yards during Saturday's 42-36 loss against TCU.

Impact Hawkins put together a nice performance in Saturday's loss, an especially impressive performance considering how poorly Sawyer Robertson played. He put up second-best numbers across the board and now has 31 catches (on 47 targets) for 399 yards this season. He has been productive, but his lack of a single touchdown reception has significantly hurt his upside.

OCTOBER 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Three catches Saturday Hawkins recorded three receptions (on six targets) for 42 yards during Saturday's 42-7 win over Samford.

Impact Hawkins, who caught 10 passes for 145 yards last week, came back down to earth Saturday versus Samford. He was targeted six times for the third straight game but caught just three passes for 42 yards which still lead the team. Quarterback Sawyer Robertson spread the ball around and did not play great against the FCS opponent, and Hawkins snaps were down presumably to give other receivers a chance to play. Hawkins begins conference play Saturday with a clash with Arizona State.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Excellent in Saturday's win Hawkins reeled in 10 of 12 targets for 145 yards during Saturday's 48-45 overtime win against Southern Methodist.

Impact Hawkins put together an excellent performance in Saturday's double overtime win, leading the team in catches (10) and receiving yards (145) versus SMU. He also put together a nice performance in Week 1, indicating that his breakout is not a complete fluke. While it's unlikely the Bears continue to pass at such a high rate, Hawkins has clearly earned quarterback Sawyer Robertson's trust which gives him a good amount of value this season.

While it's unlikely the Bears continue to pass at such a high rate, Hawkins has clearly earned quarterback Sawyer Robertson's trust which gives him a good amount of value this season.

Robertson and Baylor hope to build off 2024 finish that removed dismal feel around Aranda's team

Coach Dave Aranda and the Baylor Bears have changed that dismal feeling after a challenging period

AUGUST 15, 2025 • Associated Press

Granted eligibility for sixth season Hawkins has been granted a sixth year of eligibility by the NCAA, Josh Crawford of SI.com reports.

Impact Hawkins is coming off a solid season with Baylor where he caught 45 passes for 567 yards and five touchdowns, and he just learned he will have the chance to follow that up in 2025. Hawkins was initially denied the extra season but the decision was reversed after appeal.

AUGUST 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Striving for another season Hawkins is working to log another year of collegiate eligibility, Foster Nicholas of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Previously eligible for 2025, Hawkins is no longer such after the NCAA revoked what would have been his last year. Ideally, Baylor's fall camp can clarify his status before the 2025 Bears begin their regular season.

JULY 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in bowl loss Hawkins (hand) hauled in 4 of 10 targets for 55 yards and one touchdown during Tuesday's 44-31 defeat to LSU.

Impact Hawkins was able to play against the Tigers after being listed as probable for the Texas Bowl matchup with a hand injury. The senior receiver made an impact for the Bears, catching a four-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter to bring Baylor within 10 points at the time. Hawkins also finished the game with a season-high 10 targets, though he managed to catch just four. His bowl stats bring his season totals to 45 receptions for 567 yards and five touchdowns in his first season in Waco.

JANUARY 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Deemed probable Hawkins (hand) is listed as probable for Tuesday's Texas Bowl against LSU, Foster Nicholas of 247Sports reports.

Impact Hawkins is likely to go after he was back in practice last week. He's the team's second leading receiver with 41 catches for 512 yards and four touchdowns this season.

DECEMBER 31, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Could be available for bowl game Hawkins (hand) could be available for Baylor's bowl game Tuesday against LSU, according to his X account.

Impact Hawkins practicing about a week ago suggests he could be available for Baylor's upcoming game. The wide receiver's post suggests he will play, though a more definitive announcement will be needed to confirm his bowl availability 100 percent.

DECEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to return Hawkins (hand) has been spotted on the sideline with a cast on his left hand, Zach Smith of the Waco Tribune reports.

Impact Hawkins, who logged one reception for 13 yards in the first half, is questionable to return to the game after coming out of the break with a cast on his left hand. The 5-foot-10 senior wideout has been a large piece of the Bears' passing attack this season, totaling 40 receptions for 499 yards through 11 weeks heading into the game, but with the Bears comfortably up 3 scores, he may continue to be held out.

NOVEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Snags fourth touchdown of season Hawkins gathered in all six targets for 65 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 20-10 victory versus Houston.

Impact Sawyer Robertson has a wide array of receiving targets at his disposal, and it's usually anyone's guess at who will come out on top. This week was Hawkins' turn to shine, grabbing all six of his targets in the victory. Hawkins' future plans are unclear, but he'll have at least two more games to show his stuff before his college career comes to a close.

NOVEMBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Finds end zone in victory Hawkins hauled in all four targets for 74 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 38-28 victory over Oklahoma State.

Impact Baylor's wideouts continued to reap the benefits of their quarterback's standout play, and Hawkins caught all four balls that headed his way. Hawkins and Josh Cameron provide a one-two punch in the passing game, and both should continue to produce if Robertson stays healthy.

OCTOBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Finds paydirt in loss Hawkins logged five receptions (on eight targets) for 74 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 34-28 defeat to Brigham Young.

Impact With Sawyer Robertson at the helm, the fantasy fortunes of Baylor's receiving corps has ticked up considerably, and Hawkins should continue to produce as long as the Bears keep their backup in the lineup. Dequan Finn is a dual-threat who struggled before an undisclosed injury sidelined him, but Robertson has a firmer hold on the top job based on his excellent numbers.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2024 • FOX SPORTS

Logs 81 receiving yards Hawkins hauled in 4 of 5 targets for 81 yards during Saturday's 31-3 win over Air Force.

Impact Baylor wideouts received a sizable boost with Sawyer Robertson under center during the victory. Dequan Finn has struggled with inconsistency to begin the season, which has left a bit to be desired for Hawkins' bottom line. Hawkins should be viewed as a risk-reward option who is dependent on what could be a renewed quarterback competition in Waco.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet in opener Hawkins caught all two targets for 37 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 45-3 victory over Tarleton State.

Impact We should expect more from Baldwin in competitive contests, and Saturday's result should not be considered a reliable indication of future production. The senior caught 38 passes for 623 yards and four touchdowns in 2023 and will start weekly for the Bears.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Logs first TD with new team Hawkins caught all two targets for 37 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 45-3 victory over Tarleton State.

Impact Hawkins was a blue-chip receiver for Texas State and a very exciting prospect for the Bears this season. He made the most of his two catches in the opener, but saw less time as the game got out of hand. The senior has excellent upside and should be among the best wideouts available in the Big 12 this season.
