Horactio Banks brought burst, balance, and big-play juice to Ball State’s backfield
In the 2014 season, Horactio Banks was a compact, physical Ball State running back who ranked second on the team with 113 carries and totaled 586 rushing yards and 4 touchdowns, showing efficient downhill running at 5.2 yards per carry[2][1]. His 2013 season was even more explosive—595 rushing yards, 7 scores, and a 6.3-yard average—before an ACL tear ended that year and put his availability in question, so the upside always came with injury baggage[2][12]. If a team wants a low-center-of-gravity runner with proven production and home-run potential, Banks absolutely fits the bill.
