2022 Tennessee Defensive Preview: The Linebackers

Our look at the defense continues today as our focus shifts to the linebacker position. Really ever since Henry To’o To’o and Quavaris Crouch left the program, this position has been shaky at best and lacking depth.

However, Jeremy Banks has stepped up to the plate and provided some stability in the middle of Tim Banks’ defense.

It’s been quite the road for Banks, who signed as a running back years ago with Jeremy Pruitt. He ended up changing positions to build some depth at linebacker, and he stuck with it. After overcoming some off the field issues and working his way back onto the roster, Banks is now one of the most important players on the team, manning the Will position.
