Expert Analysis
Rob Howe | Prep Redzone Scout
Hanks caught my attention last season with his performance at Liberty. It was good getting to scout him again in the 2025 season-opener back at Liberty. The junior is a modern-day linebacker, a quick athlete that can get physical. Hanks showed that against the Lightning, running sideline to sideline and firing forward through gaps. Once he identifies the play, Hanks is very fast to the football, getting downhill in a hurry. He’s a fundamentally sound tackler, breaking down the ball carrier and dropping him in his tracks. Hanks’ athleticism allows him to stick with receivers in coverage. The arrow is definitely pointing up for Hanks, who is already among the best 2027s in Iowa.
