Elite Ball-Hawking Safety Sidelined by Knee Injury
The 6-foot-1, 208-pound safety transferred to Ole Miss with one year of eligibility remaining after an impressive South Alabama tenure (146 tackles, 7 interceptions, 3 forced fumbles). Banks is a ball-production machine with rare instincts in coverage—his seven picks demonstrate elite range and anticipation. However, a left knee injury suffered during the 2024 season has ended his campaign and raises durability concerns heading forward. For teams seeking a high-ceiling safety with proven ball-hawking skills, Banks offers immediate impact potential once healthy, though medical clearance will be critical.
