Anthony Hankerson Waived by the Seahawks and Could Choose to Return to College

The Seattle Seahawks announced they have waived running back Anthony Hankerson on Monday, with the undrafted rookie planning to enter the college football transfer portal if he clears waivers.
Hankerson is among 16 football players who legally petitioned to restore college football eligibility after a Louisiana court ruling last week granted them a fifth year for the 2026 season.
The running back posted 2,168 rushing yards over two seasons at Oregon State, including 1,086 yards and nine touchdowns last season; he played 24 snaps during the Seahawks' preseason loss to the Tennessee Titans on August 23.
Waiving Hankerson opens one spot on the Seahawks' 90-man roster; while another NFL team could claim him off waivers, the former Oregon State player intends to pursue college football eligibility.
This move reflects a growing trend of athletes leaving NFL training camps to pursue college eligibility, a situation The News Tribune's Gregg Bell criticized as "ridiculous," noting that "college presidents remain bystanders.
