What makes you stand out as a future collegiate athlete?
“That i am what is known as a “sleeper athlete” that will devote blood,sweat, and tears to being better each and every day.
2017 Season 8 games- 5.5 sacks, 33 tackles, 11 TFL
1st Team All-Newton County, 2nd Team All Region 3-AAAAAA, 2x Defensive Linemen of The Year Award,”
Banks is a good football player no doubt, he played only in 8 games and ended up with double digit tackles for loss. He’s very aggressive with his hands getting off blocks. Does a really nice job with hand placement and getting leverage. Banks is a tough football player lining up way out of position considering his size. He is relentless getting after the ball carrier, but would like to see him finish off his tackles more securely. Banks is a really good student-athlete, right Ivy League schools are showing interest. I think his best bet is working on his pass-rush skills this offseason and try to become an edge rusher at the next level. Right now his film is mostly stopping the run, which at his size will be tougher at the next level.
