Anthony Hankerson is Oregon State’s high-volume, tackle-breaking engine at RB
In the 2025 season, Anthony Hankerson was Oregon State’s workhorse back, piling up 1,086 rushing yards and 9 touchdowns on 247 carries while adding 22 catches, which tells you he’s more than a bruiser—he can stay on the field in all situations[1][2][7]. The appeal is the combo: compact runner, solid contact balance, and a knack for forcing missed tackles, but the bigger fit question is whether you want a back whose game is built on efficient volume and toughness more than pure breakaway speed[1][5]. He was also rated among the better backs in college football by multiple game/ratings outlets, reinforcing that evaluators see a reliable, productive feature back rather than just a stat-sheet compiler[10][11].
