Anthony Hankerson

Hankerson was unable to unleash his talent on a full scale during his two seasons in Boulder in 2022 and 2023, but that changed considerably in his first season in Corvallis. He emerged as a true bellcow for the Beavers, amassing 232 carries for 1,082 yards and 15 touchdowns while adding 27 catches for 151 yards. Per the SP+ defensive ratings of their opponent of last year versus this season, Oregon State's schedule lightens a bit in 2025, though a Week 13 bye does leave a building block with a postseason bye week. Even so, Hankerson should more than make up for it with a hefty carry load during the regular season, and improvement on his 2024 numbers shouldn't be off the table. Another top-10 campaign could remain in the cards this year, and Hankerson should be viewed as having top-five upside if things fall right. Read Past Outlooks
