West Virginia has officially added another transfer player, and this one helps to bolster the depth of the defensive line.

The WVU football program and head coach Neal Brown announced Tennessee State defensive lineman transfer Davoan Hawkins has signed a grant-in-aid, completing his transfer to the school.

A 6’2″, 286-pound, senior from Lauderdale Hill, Florida becomes a Mountaineer with one remaining year of eligibility. Hawkins’ signing comes only a week after he posted his commitment to WVU.
