Dexter Banks II was a highly recruited player out of High School primarily due to his versatility and raw athleticism. He did a little bit of everything for his High School team including playing Defensive Back, Wide Receiver, Running Back, and even some Quarterback. Banks grew up as a Georgia fan and lived a couple of hours away, so throughout the recruiting process national analysts considered him a heavy Georgia lean. He did wait for the early signing day before committing in what would become one of the more memorable ceremonies when he picked up a Clemson hat before tossing it aside and saying, “Just kidding. I’m a fucking Dawg”. Banks then proceeded to pull back a curtain that was hiding a litter of Bulldog puppies and he began rolling around in their pen and did “snow angels” among the adorable puppies. As a Freshman, it took Banks a while to breakout as an impact player because he was suspended for the first four games of the season for a minor in possession charge that he received the summer before. Once Banks proved himself on special teams he started to increase his role in the wide receiver rotation before breaking out in the SEC Championship game for a 107 yard performance. It wasn’t until his sophomore and final season as a junior that Banks became a household name that garnered national honors.
