After the 2020 Notre Dame football season ended, it was widely speculated that had Aaron Banks returned to Notre Dame in 2021 for a 5th year, he would have slid out to left tackle. Banks confirmed that on Monday when he Zoomed with the media leading up to Notre Dame’s Pro Day.
“If I would have come back, I would have been the left tackle,” Aaron Banks said. Banks, Notre Dame’s starting left guard for the past two and a half seasons, technically had two years of eligibility left due to the NCAA’s free year for all 2021 scholarship football players, but ultimately decided on pursuing the NFL instead of another at Notre Dame.
