Yvan Banag brings two-way versatility and ball-hawking upside to South Carolina
Banag is a 2026 three-star defensive back from AC Flora who stacked up **75 tackles and five interceptions** in his high school season, while also showing offensive juice with **10 catches for 163 yards and four touchdowns**[1]. His value is versatility: he projects as a slot cornerback, suggesting quickness, coverage instincts, and comfort playing in space rather than just as a straight-line athlete[1][6]. For South Carolina, he looks like a competitive, multi-use defensive piece with playmaking instincts and enough two-way production to hint at strong football IQ and toughness[1].
