Banuelos checks into our updated rankings as a top ten linebacker in the class and is a very good overall athlete with plenty of next level potential and plus athleticism for the position. He runs well sideline to sideline, is a efficient tackler that brings a big thump at the POA, can change direction quickly inside the tackles and quickly knifes into the backfield while able to rush the passer as well. Look for him to be atop the tackle ranks through the 2026 season and should have a strong last season for Emmett and gather plenty of D3 offers.
