Hope he works out. Welcome to the Coog family young man!

“Bankston was on an extremely good Cyclone D in 2020, playing in 11 games and amassing 16 total tackles, 4.5 TFLs, 3.5 sacks and 2 QB hurries” Big get! DLine is looking nice!

Nice! Got some big dudes on the DL next year.

How teams are built sure has changed.

Nice to read this!

He transferred to Louisiana on Jan. 7 and entered the transfer portal ELEVEN days later, before finally ending up at UH just four days after that. I hope we hear the story behind that.

The grammar cops have been put on alert. But, just keep recruiting and we will hold them at bay.

He doesn’t seem to be the quickest response to the snap but once he fires he is stronger and quicker with every step.

He has a football radar and comes off of blocks like he can see through the taller man or two!

He moves along the LOS very quickly reminding me of Ed . Makes me wonder what kind of motor he has play after play after play.

Apparently he has great arm strength wrapping up ball carriers and strength in back, stomach and obliques with which he can body slam taller players.
