Kansas’s Longtime Linebacker Built on Toughness and Leadership
In his Kansas playing days, Banks Floodman was a physical, high-effort linebacker who earned an honorable-mention All-Big 12 nod as a sophomore and was praised as a three-time team captain, with 47 total tackles and 2 tackles for loss in one season. His differentiators were intensity, reliability, and leadership—he was the kind of defender coaches trusted to set the tone and rally the room, even after bouncing back from a season-ending knee injury early in his career. If a team values grit, accountability, and steady production over flash, he fits the bill.
