Tone-setter linebacker who brought SEC production and edge
In the 2022 season, Jeremy Banks was Tennessee’s physical, downhill enforcer at linebacker, finishing his Vols career with 219 tackles, 18 tackles for loss, 5.5 sacks, and 3 interceptions across 48 games. He stood out for his burst, contact aggression, and pass-rush versatility—rare traits for an off-ball LB—and he was also a vocal, high-energy presence on the field. His road wasn’t spotless, with off-field issues and a late-career NFL transition shaping his profile, but the on-field tape says this is a fierce, instinctive fit if you want swagger and violence in the middle.
