Johnathan Hankins (born March 30, 1992) [1] is an American professional football defensive tackle for the Seattle Seahawks of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Ohio State, where he received All-American honors, and was selected by the New York Giants in the second round of the 2013 NFL draft. He has also played for the Indianapolis Colts, Oakland / Las Vegas Raiders and Dallas Cowboys.
Hankins was born in Dearborn Heights, Michigan. He began his high school football career as a 255 pound guard in his freshman year.
For his sophomore year he transferred to Southeastern High School, where he started on the defensive line. Five-star prospect William Gholston transferred to Southeastern in 2008, creating the "best defense in Detroit", [2] with Hankins shutting down the inside and Gholston patrolling on the edge.
Hankins was regarded as a three star recruit by Rivals.com, and was listed as the No. 20 prospect from Michigan in the class of 2010. [3] He intended to accompany Gholston to Michigan State, but did not get any offer from the Spartans. Hankins eventually picked Ohio State over offers from Alabama, Florida, Michigan, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin.
Hankins enrolled in Ohio State University, where he played for the Ohio State Buckeyes football team from 2010 to 2012. As a true freshman, Hankins made the Buckeyes rotation and recorded 16 tackles (3 solo) plus a quarterback sack for the season. He weighed in as a freshman "at about 350, 355," and was regarded as only a two-down player by defensive coordinator Jim Heacock.
By his sophomore year, Hankins managed to get his weight down to 330 and became a starter, registering 67 tackles (32 solo) and three sacks. [4]
Following his 2012 junior season, he was a first-team All-Big Ten Conference selection, and received first-team All-American honors from Scout.com.
Even though Hankins only entered his junior season in 2012, he was projected to leave Ohio State early. In preseason mock drafts from May 2012, Hankins was listed as a mid first-rounder for the 2013 NFL draft. [5] [6] By mid-season, he had moved up to a top-10 spot. [7] In December 2012, Hankins announced that he would forgo his final year of eligibility, entering the 2013 NFL Draft. [8]

[14] He started 15 games, recording 44 tackles (fifth on the team), 4 tackles for loss, two sacks and 3 passes defensed. He had 4 tackles and one sack against the Seattle Seahawks. He made 8 tackles against the Buffalo Bills. He had 5 tackles and one sack against the Denver Broncos.
On March 17, 2018, Hankins was released by the Colts, because he wasn't seen as a fit for the 4-3 defense thas was implemented by new defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus. [15]
On September 13, 2018, Hankins signed with the Oakland Raiders to replace an injured Justin Ellis. [16] He played in 15 games with 14 starts, recording 36 tackles and 2 fumble recoveries. He had 2 tackles and 2 fumble recoveries against the Cleveland Browns.

On October 25, 2022, Hankins along with a 2024 seventh-round pick, was traded to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for a 2023 sixth-round draft choice (#204-Jarrick Bernard-Converse). [23] He was acquired to improve the team's run defense. He was placed on injured reserve with a sprained pectoral muscle on December 14. He was activated on January 16, 2023.
Hankins re-signed with the Cowboys on March 29, 2023. [24] He started 14 games, recording 27 tackles, three sacks and two passes defensed. He missed 3 games with a high-ankle sprain injury.
