Explosive FCS Receiver with Program-Record Production
Tanksley is a **dynamic playmaker** who has established himself as UT Martin's premier receiving threat with 160 career receptions for 2,080 yards and 8 touchdowns[9][10]. His standout moment came in 2022 when he set a program Division I record with 220 receiving yards against Murray State[1][2], showcasing his ability to dominate in single games. Averaging 13.0 yards per catch[9][10], he combines consistent production with explosive plays—he tallied six receptions of 25+ yards in that record-setting game alone[1]. A two-time All-Conference selection[2], Tanksley's 4.48 40-time and 36-inch vertical jump[1] demonstrate the athleticism to compete at higher levels. His durability through a full 2024 season (12 games played)[5] after a season-ending injury in 2021 shows resilience and commitment.
