Texas LT Kelvin Banks named 2022 Freshman All-American by On3 Sports

Kelvin Banks earns freshman All-American honors.

Texas left tackle Kelvin Banks enjoyed one of the best freshman seasons across the entire nation. The crown jewel of the Longhorns’ 2022 offensive line class is establishing himself as a star.

On3 Sports named Banks to its 2022 True Freshman All-American team for his effort this year.

Banks arrived on Texas’ campus in the summer and immediately locked down the left side of the Longhorns’ offensive line. He held his own against some of the nation’s best pass rushers all season long, only allowing two sacks in 12 games.

Notable names Banks performed well against include Will Anderson (Alabama), Dallas Turner (Alabama), Tyree Wilson (Texas Tech), Felix Anudike-Uzomah (Kansas State) and Will McDonald IV (Iowa State).

The future of the Texas offensive line looks to be in great shape with Banks anchoring down the left tackle spot.

Kelvin Banks featured on On3’s freshman All-American team

Kelvin Banks is receiving some preseason love.

Texas signed the nation’s best offensive line class in the 2022 cycle. The group consists of seven players, headlined by five stars Kelvin Banks and Devon Campbell.

It is expected that a number of the newcomers on the offensive line will push for playing time early on.

On3 Sports released its 2022 preseason freshman All-American team on Tuesday. Banks was featured as one of the five offensive linemen chosen from around the country.

Kelvin Banks was the jewel of Texas’ splendid offensive line haul in the 2022 cycle. The 6-foot-5, 318-pounder was a summer enrollee, but has quickly assimilated. Banks is reportedly already seeing some reps as the first-team left tackle and could be in line to start on the blindside as early as week one. Banks’ combination of length, flexibility, nimble feet and ready-made size make him one of the prime contenders to make a splash as a true freshman offensive lineman. The Humble (Texas) Summer Creek product was a five-star and ranked as the No. 19 overall prospect and No. 1 offensive tackle in the 2022 On3 Consensus.

Banks is looking the part in fall camp. The future of Texas’ offensive line unit is extremely bright.
