Anthony Hankerson leaves NFL for college football transfer portal

Anthony Hankerson, a former running back for the Colorado Buffaloes, is entering the college football transfer portal after being waived by the Seattle Seahawks. Hankerson previously played for Oregon State, where he achieved two consecutive 1,000-yard seasons. His decision aligns with a recent Louisiana court ruling that has granted additional eligibility to players from the 2022 recruiting class. This trend includes other former NFL players returning to college programs, drawn by the potential for higher earnings and another opportunity to showcase their skills. Hankerson's move reflects a broader shift among professional athletes seeking financial incentives in college football.
