While the Memphis Showboats are still without a Head Coach or General Manager, they’re still re-signing players. LB Terrill Hanks Jr. has agreed to terms with the Showboats for the 2025 UFL season, after spending the last few weeks with the team this past year.

Hanks has plenty of spring football experience. He was part of the Birmingham Stallions 2022 Championship team, totaling 13 tackles that year. Injuries derailed his season there, though, and he was released in early 2023.
From there, Hanks ended up with the San Antonio Brahmas. Terrill made two tackles during the 2023 XFL campaign, but was ultimately let go from the Brahmas as well.

With the injury to Jeff McCulloch, Hanks gives the @USFLShowboats some depth. He’s spent time in the NFL with Miami, and also was with the Birmingham Stallions & San Antonio Brahmas. #UFL pic.twitter.com/3o3oJl8cIl

With the Memphis Showboats this season, Hanks played in just two games, making an impact with eight tackles. He was someone who DC Carnell Lake spoke highly of, fitting into the defense seamlessly late.
Terrill Hanks went undrafted out of college, having been picked up by the Miami Dolphins as an UDFA in 2019. He signed a futures deal in late 2019, but got cut by Miami in April of 2020.

Hanks had an unbelievable career in college. With the New Mexico State Aggies, he totaled 391 career tackles, 43 TFL’s, 11 sacks, three fumble recoveries, seven forced fumbles, and eight interceptions.
Now, he’ll look to continue his professional career in the spring with the Memphis Showboats.
