Banks Pope offers Clemson a reliable, physical TE with depth value and academic consistency
Banks Pope is a senior Clemson tight end who has carved out a role as a steady, low-usage contributor: in the 2025 season he caught 1 pass for 5 yards, and across his Clemson career he has 2 catches for 14 yards while appearing in 21 games with one start.[1][5] His differentiators are size, patience, and trustworthiness—at 6-foot-4 and about 250 pounds, he brings developmental depth, has recovered from a 2021 rehab year, and has earned All-ACC Academic Team recognition twice, signaling discipline and reliability.[4][5]
