KNOXVILLE — Jeremy Banks returned to the practice field Monday as Tennessee opened fall training camp.
It was Banks’ first time practicing since being dismissed from Tennessee’s team last October.
Vols Wire first reported Banks’ return to the program last month. His return will provide versatility to Tennessee’s defense.
Banks has the ability to be a factor and provide depth at the MACK and WILL linebacker positions, as well as in DIME personnel at MONEY.
“We’re working him at MONEY,” Pruitt said of Banks following Tennessee’s first practice of fall training camp. “It’s a position that he moved to last year and he has a lot of catching up to do.
“I’m just excited that he’s put himself in a position to get the opportunity to be able to do this. It’s a great opportunity for him to further his education. I believe that Jeremy will work really hard to become the best football player that he can be.”
Banks has played in 15 games during two seasons (2018-19) for the Vols. He has totaled 10 tackles, one tackle for a loss, two interceptions and two pass deflections.
