Matt DeBary | Prep Redzone Scout
A Middle-Georgia prospect who can make a big impact on both sides of the ball, Banks is a physical linebacker who tackles everything in sight who can also turn around and be a bowling ball at running back. One of the region’s top returning backs for the upcoming season, Banks was tough to handle last year as a junior, rushing for 724 yards on just 93 carries for an impressive average of 7.8 yards per carry. At 5-foot-10 and over 200-pounds, Banks is a physical, tackle-breaking back who will push for easy All-Region honors and more in 2026.

Banks is a productive player on both sides of the ball, but will obviously project at RB, given his size. Banks is a bowling ball back. His foot fire and low center of gravity allow him to fall forward and sheer his way through contact. He has desirable quickness in the short areas and attacks openings with patience. Just a high floor, productive rusher who should get a crack at the college level.
