Jackson Banks brings size, toughness, and high-upside interior depth to Western Carolina's defensive line
Banks is a 6-foot-1, 295-pound defensive tackle who enters 2025 with a clear trench profile: compact power, inside leverage, and enough athletic production to suggest developmental upside. Western Carolina lists him as a transfer who began at Mississippi Gulf Coast, then moved through Old Dominion, and his background includes a strong high-school résumé with 37 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, and five sacks as a senior, plus a 3.87 GPA—signals of discipline and coachability. He looks like a fit for a team needing a disruptive, physical interior defender with room to grow.
