Texas LT Kelvin Banks among On3’s true freshmen standouts in Week 7
True freshman left tackle Kelvin Banks has played absolutely fantastic for Texas this season.
The former five-star recruit in the 2022 recruiting class has looked like a seasoned veteran against some of the top pass rushers in the country.
His performance against a solid Iowa State front earned him a spot on On3’s five true freshmen standouts of Week 7.
Kelvin Banks has manned the left tackle spot for Texas all season and had one of his better games to date in the Longhorns’ 24-21 win over Iowa State. The 6-foot-4, 320-pounder allowed zero sacks, hits, hurries in 28 pass blocking attempts according to Pro Football Focus. The Humble (Texas) Summer Creek product’s smooth coordination in pass protection provided quarterback Quinn Ewers with time to work against a stingy Iowa State defense. He already looks like one of the best offensive linemen in the Big 12 just seven games into his collegiate career.
Banks ranked as the No. 6 overall prospect and No. 1 offensive tackle in the 2022 On300.
Ole Miss running back Quinshon Judkins, Arizona wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan, Clemson wide receiver Antonio Williams and Penn State linebacker Abdul Carter also made the list this week.
