Hankins is the premier corner in this class. At 6’1″ he has long arms and fluid hips. Plus athlete with good speed. His instincts is what separates him from the rest of the class. He reeds the QB’s eyes and has the ability to go off his primary coverage to where the ball is going to make impactful plays. Such a quick switch on the backend. Makes game changing plays including pick 6s. Wraps up tackling in the run game. Also plays wide receiver where he is a vertical threat that tracks it very well.

There might not have been a bigger stock risers out of the metro east than this two way standout. Hankins probably projects best at the next level at corner with his quickness, athleticism, instincts, and ball skills. The power 4 interest is starting to come after a big junior campaign.
