Also from the show ESPN used to have (Return to Glory). He took over as QB like half way through the show. Didn't look half bad as a freshman and was doing much better than their senior kid was.

off topic, but i thought Christian Wilson when he was on that ESPN show was a freshman when he was the RB, he ended up getting huge after the cameras and Dick Butkus left the school

So are we looking at him on defense? Safety, I assume?

ATH Banks one of 2009's best
By Mike Farrell, Recruiting Analyst ? Rivals.com
It's still a little too early to speak definitively about the nation's best prospects in the Class of 2009 but athlete E.J. Banks has done well for himself so far.
The 6-foot-1, 180-pound athlete from Montour, Pennsylvania currently holds 18 scholarship offers and that list should continue to grow.
Last fall Banks recorded 68 tackles with five interceptions. He plans to attend a Junior Day at Ohio State very soon and will take things from there.

Pitts Tribune
Quote:
Where Banks is a standout quarterback, Montour coach Lou Cerro said only Georgia Tech is recruiting him at that position because it runs a triple-option offense. Banks has 16 offers, from the likes of national champion Louisiana State, Ohio State, Pitt and Rutgers. Some schools are recruiting him as a safety, others as a slot receiver.
Like Bell and Brown at Gateway, which featured Pitt recruits Shayne Hale and Cameron Saddler, Banks had the benefit of drawing attention by playing alongside a big-time prospect in North Carolina recruit Christian Wilson.
"I think it makes a big difference," Cerro said. "Every time you see Christian on film, you're seeing E.J. because of what they did together. Everybody saw what E.J. could do, and he made plays himself."
