Seahawks Waive Hankerson, College Return Possible

The Seattle Seahawks have waived running back Anthony Hankerson, who could potentially return to college football after becoming eligible for a fifth collegiate season.

Hankerson, an undrafted rookie from Oregon State, signed with the Seahawks last week and rushed for 10 yards on five carries in their preseason loss at Tennessee. He also caught two passes for nine yards. The waiver comes after a Louisiana court order granted him and 15 other players who graduated high school in 2022 eligibility for an additional collegiate season. biznow.biz

Once Hankerson clears waivers, he could enter the transfer portal. The situation mirrors that of running back T.J. Harden, who was also waived by the Seahawks and entered the transfer portal last week. Hankerson previously signed with Miami in April before being released earlier this month.
