We now know where former Ohio State defensive back Sevyn Banks will be continuing his college career. After four years as a Buckeye — one of the COVID-19 variety in 2020 — Banks originally planned to enter the NFL draft after an injury-plagued 2021, but then decided to enter the transfer portal and play one more year the NCAA allowed athletes because of the pandemic.
On Tuesday, Banks announced that he’s headed to the Bayou to play for LSU for his final season of eligibility (hmm, where have we heard that before). He started all eight games in 2020 and was expected to be one of the best cornerbacks in the country, even showing up on some early first-round NFL mock drafts.

It’s unlikely Banks would have started for Ohio State with what’s coming back for the Buckeyes. Although still somewhat young, the defensive backfield has a lot of options and pieces that can be used in 2022.
Either way, we wish Banks nothing but the best down in Louisiana.
