Former Dolphins Player Anthony Hankerson Returns to College Football
Anthony Hankerson, a former running back for the Miami Dolphins, is making a surprising return to college football after being released by the Seattle Seahawks. This decision comes as the Dolphins prepare to finalize their roster ahead of the upcoming season.
Hankerson, who previously played at Oregon State and Colorado, was waived by the Seahawks and plans to enter the transfer portal. This move is made possible by a recent NCAA ruling that allows players to gain an additional year of eligibility, even after signing with a professional team.
The football community has largely criticized this trend, viewing it as a chaotic shift in the sport. Hankerson's situation exemplifies the evolving landscape of college football, where former NFL players are now considering returning to school rather than joining practice squads.
