Running back Anthony Hankerson was waived by the Seahawks on Monday. According to Matt Zenitz, who covers the NFL and college football for CBS Sports, Hankerson plans to enter the transfer portal and return to college as a player if he clears waivers.

Hankerson is one of 33 college athletes and 16 football players recently granted a temporary restraining order against the NCAA by a Louisiana court that will make them eligible to return to college athletics, according to a report from ESPN.

Last week, undrafted running back T.J. Harden reportedly entered the transfer portal after being cut by the Seahawks. He was alongside Hankerson as one of the 16 players granted the temporary restraining order.

Hankerson, who was undrafted out of Oregon State in the spring, played for the Seahawks in Sunday’s preseason loss to the Tennessee Titans. He had 10 rushing yards on five carries and caught two passes for an additional nine yards while playing 24 snaps – 18 on offense and six on special teams.

The 22-year-old Hankerson played in 2024 and 2025 for Oregon State after spending his first two college seasons at Colorado.
