towering safety with upside, but still waiting for his breakout
Banks is a 6-foot-5 safety for Bowling Green with long-frame, physicality, and special-teams/value-upside traits that make him intriguing for future depth charts. In the 2024 season, he did not appear in any games and redshirted, and his 2025 roster listing shows him as a redshirt freshman, so the current on-field sample is still thin. The appeal is projection: he reportedly brings physical tackling instincts from playing multiple defensive roles in high school, plus rare size for the position. If you need immediate production, the résumé is light; if you want a developmental defender with real upside, he’s worth a look.
