Minnestoa defensive lineman Jack Hawkinson has entered the transfer portal. Gophers Nation originally reported the expectation of Hawkinson doing so earlier on Monday.
The 6-foot-3, 255-pound defensive lineman is the fourth Gopher to enter the protal on Monday joining DT Luther McCoy, LS Ryan Algrim, and DE Hayden Schwartz.
"Thank you Minnesota," Hawkinson said in a statement on X. "I have entered the transfer portal as a graduate transfer with 1 year of eligibility."
A former walk-on, the Frankfort, Illinois native spent four years with the Golden Gophers, appearing in seven games over the past two seasons. The only stats he recorded as a Gopher were a pair of quarterback hurries against Rhode Island.
