The Humble, Texas native recently chose to decommit from Oklahoma State. Prior to the change of heart, Banks contacted Texas to let him know that he’s again interested in joining their program.
“Texas is a good environment and the coaches have great energy. I really like the way they coach and the way they treat their players. They treated me just like family and it felt like home. I had a chance ot talk to coach Herman face-to-face, and the place is just awesome.”
Now that it appears the Longhorns are likely to lose out on the Brockermeyer twins to Alabama, Banks would be a significant and much needed addition to Herb Hand’s offensive line unit. In 2019, he was a first-team selection at offensive tackle as a sophomore.
Banks has visited the University of Texas twice throughout his recruiting cycle thus far, it’s clear the staff and players have made a lasting impression on the 6-4, 285-pound athlete.
