Tulane's Jonathan Banks puts leadership in focus while at Manning camp

THIBODAUX -- Everybody looks at Jonathan Banks a little differently this summer. That comes with a full season of experience in the Tulane football offense.

"A lot of times the guys listen to me now," Banks said Friday (June 22) while at the Manning Passing Academy on the Nicholls State campus.

The fifth-year senior quarterback will begin his second season with the Green Wave after a pair of one-year junior college stints sandwiched around a redshirt year at Kansas State.

He quarterbacked Tulane to within inches of becoming bowl-eligible for the second time since 2002 -- the first since 2013 -- when he was stopped just shy of the goal line as time expired in a narrow loss at SMU last November.
