Sophie Cunningham, Indiana Fever guard, recently reacted to Iowa Hawkeyes’ tight end Gavin Hoffman’s transfer portal announcement. Hoffman has four remaining years of eligibility with the Hawkeyes and did not play any game in his first year with the team. Cunningham has reacted to a number of Hoffman’s posts in the past, and it was clearly expected of her to respond to this exciting one.
In his announcement message of him entering the transfer portal, Gavin Hoffman thanked many important people in his life for their contributions, starting with God. The tight end also thanked his teammates for their strong bonds and relationships created on the field.
“Hello portal 😏,” Sophie Cunningham captioned her Instagram story while sharing Hoffman’s post.

Sophie Cunningham will be playing for the Indiana Fever in the upcoming WNBA season for the very first time. In the previous season, Cunningham played for the Phoenix Mercury, averaging 8.4 points in each game, along with 3.9 rebounds and two helpers in every matchup. The shooting guard entered the league after being drafted by the Phoenix Mercury as the 13th overall pick in the second round of the 2019 draft.
Cunningham has had a pretty quiet WNBA offseason when compared to many other stars who participated in the inaugural season of the Unrivaled League. Cunningham will be hoping to show off her performance next to Caitlin Clark in the upcoming season of the WNBA which will kick off in May.
