Tennessee is looking to beef up its depth in the trenches, and the Vols are doing so by exploring the NCAA transfer portal.

Bankston signed with Iowa State in the 2020 recruiting class as a 3-star JUCO prospect out of Hutchinson Community College. The Woodstock, Georgia native was the No. 3 JUCO defensive tackle according to the 247Sports Composite.
Bankston had a strong campaign during his lone year with the Cyclones, recording 16 tackles, 4.5 tackles for a loss and 3.5 sacks as Iowa State reached the Big 12 championship game.
The 6-foot, 300-pound interior defensive lineman would immediately add an experienced piece into Tennessee’s rotation.
