Banks played in 22 games for Ohio State, totaling 45 tackles and a pair of interceptions over the course of his four-year career in Columbus.
Fans reacted to Banks’ transfer to LSU on Twitter.
“Banks had his moments during the 2020 season, but he was out of the rotation at CB in 2021,” tweeted Marcus Mosher. “Hopefully, a change in scenery helps because he has talent.”
