The redshirt senior re-aggravated a preseason foot injury in Florida’s 2010 loss to then-No. 3 LSU on Sept. 13. He had already missed the Gators’ first 2 games of the 2025 season due to the injury sustained in fall camp. Banks did not record a stat against LSU in 34 snaps before his injury.
Banks was expected to anchor Florida’s interior in 2025 and build on a solid junior season in which he posted 21 tackles, 7 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks and 2 forced fumbles.
Banks was initially listed on the SEC Availability Report as “doubtful” before Florida’s Week 12 matchup against then-No. 7 Ole Miss but was then upgraded to a “game-time decision”. He went through pregame warmups but reportedly didn’t feel ready to suit up for the game.
