Same school as '15 DB Kareem Orr. Actively being recruited by UT (has been up to camp multiple times and went to junior day), OSU (weekly communication), and a slew of other southeastern schools.

I also played with him my senior year and obviously am biased but I will say he has unreal vision and can cut on a dime. May not have 4.4 speed but can maintain top end speed even after he cuts. Also very strong pound for pound for his size.

Similar situation with Kareem as the two have not really camped with any of the major scouting services so I would be interested to see how they are rated after the summer circuit. Two to definitely look out for to blow up over the summer.

Seen both players play Upperman at Tech in the playoffs. Not sure Auston has the size or speed to play at this level. I was very impressed with Kareem though.

Would like to see ND play this year. Fant seems to be doing a good job. Just wish he wasn't a Vandy guy! ND vs Signal Mtn should be a great game this year!

I don't see SEC talent in his game. Great vision on the field. Shows great ability as a running back but not SEC material. I've watched his film and I'd even be surprised if a school like Duke offered him. Would be a great fit for ETSU IMO, unless he makes some major impressions this summer/upcoming season.

We will have to see how he performs in the camps. Kareem is the better of the two for sure and is getting recruited harder by the sec

Signed with Kennesaw State in 2015 but has joined the Vols as a walk-on. Tremendous athlete who's extremely quick; in Chicago 2 years ago, Banks recorded the 2nd-best shuttle time (3.84) out of 21,000 participants in all of Nike's 2014 combines. Also ran a laser-timed 4.48 40 at the same event in Chicago. Averaged 12.3 yards per carry his senior year.

I like that shuttle time. If he can add some weight and keep that speed then you never know. Maybe he's got some Inky or JJ McCleskey in him.

Kennesaw State had a great season. Not sure what role he played, but they put huge numbers

Absolutely. He didn't play much, if at all coming from someone who was at over half of the home games and watched a few more. He had problems with the coaches and was one of the most expected transfers from KSU after last year. AJC also reported he wasn't running with the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd sting when he stopped coming to spring practices.
