seasoned Arkansas State linebacker with a blue-collar, tackle-first profile
In the 2007 season, Charlton Hankston arrived at Arkansas State as a 6-foot-2, 256-pound linebacker known for production and toughness: he was an All-California first-team pick at Victor Valley College, helped his team to a 9-2 record in 2006, and earlier set his high school tackle record with 115 stops and two interceptions. He looks like a physical, downhill fit who can bring leverage, instinct, and run support—more thump than flash, but the kind of player coaches usually love for effort and reliability.
