Ex-Oregon State RB Anthony Hankerson Set For College Return After Being Waived By Seahawks

The Seattle Seahawks have waived running back Anthony Hankerson, who could try to play in college again. Hankerson signed with the Seahawks last week and rushed for 10 yards on five carries in their 19-16 preseason loss at Tennessee on Sunday night. He also caught two passes for nine yards. He is among 16 players who graduated high school in 2022 and became eligible to play a fifth collegiate season thanks to a Louisiana court order last week. Once he clears waivers, he could enter the transfer portal. Running back T.J. Harden, who played for the Seahawks in their preseason game against Dallas, was also among those granted a temporary restraining order by the Louisiana judge. Harden, who played last year at SMU and went undrafted, was waived by the Seahawks and entered the portal last week. Hankerson was an undrafted rookie out of Oregon State who signed with Miami in April, then was waived earlier this month. He ran for 1,086 yards and nine touchdowns last season, his second in Corvallis. He also had 22 catches for 123 yards. Reporting by the Associated Press.
