Lucas Banks brings veteran size and disruptive upside to Arkansas State’s interior
In the 2025 season, Lucas Banks is a 6-foot-2, 287-pound senior defensive tackle for Arkansas State with a veteran profile and a proven backstory from Mississippi Valley State, where he posted 50 career tackles and 6.0 tackles for loss in 2023. He’s the kind of interior lineman who can help a defense win the trenches with experience, leverage, and toughness rather than flashy stat lines; he also arrived as a multi-sport athlete and a state-title winner, which usually hints at competitive edge. If you need a sturdy, battle-tested DT with room to squeeze more production out of his frame, he’s worth a look.
