Banks, a junior, joined the Crimson Tide back in 2019 and was rated as a four-star recruit according to Touchdown Alabama’s independent recruiting rankings.
Banks appeared in 24 games across his career at Alabama but was not able to crack the rotation in the secondary. The Texas native suited up for eight games in 2021 while making one start against Mercer. During his playing time this season, Banks recorded six tackles, a half a tackle for loss, one pass deflection and one interception.
Banks is the first Alabama player to enter the transfer portal this fall.
