He recorded five tackles and one interception in seven games. Banks’ first career pick came versus Mercer at Bryant-Denny Stadium. A native of Houston, Texas, he arrived in Alabama’s 2019 recruiting class as a four-star. The 6-foot, 180-pounder is talented, but it did not work out in Tuscaloosa. He earned an SEC Championship and a College Football Playoff National Championship ring in 2020. Hopefully, Banks becomes the star he wants to be in Starkville (Miss.) with the Bulldogs.
