physical, disruptive Iowa State DB who showed real bite when healthy
Kennard Banks brought size, experience, and toughness to Iowa State’s defensive backfield, and in the 2009 season he was a key part of the Cyclones’ defense before an injury and team-suspension interruptions derailed his run. His best calling card was physical play: he logged 18 tackles in eight games after returning from a broken arm in 2009 spring ball, and earlier that season he ranked fourth on the team in tackles with two sacks before suspension news hit. If your team wants a DB with edge and contact willingness, Banks had the profile; the red flag was availability and off-field volatility.
