Auburn Kev 1,653 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Quote Junior college defender having big season on Auburn’s radar ByKEITH NIEBUHR 3 hours ago Latrell Bankston, a 3-star defensive tackle at Hutchinson Community College in Kansas, has turned heads with his play this season. Several schools have offered and he’s hoping — and optimistic — Auburn could soon join the club. “I’m really really interested in Auburn!,” Bankston told 247Sports and Auburn Undercover. “They are coached by one of the best coaches of all time in my opinion and they are DLU! And it’s close home.” A native of Woodstock, Ga., the 6-feet-1, 285-pound Bankston has recorded 10 sacks and 13.5 tackles for loss in only six games played this season. Defensive line coach Rodney Garner recently visited Bankston in Kansas. “They came and talked to me at the Coffeyville game, but I didn’t play because they were bad and I was resting my shoulder,” Bankston said. “I talk to Coach Garner the most out of everyone. I also talk to (defensive coordinator Kevin) Steele. Garner likes me a lot as a player and even compared me to (NFL player) Geno Atkins. He said he loves my quickenss and explosive movement skills and play-making ability.” Bankston is the No. 3 tackle and No. 18 junior college recruit nationally in the 247Sports rankings. He carries an 88 grade. Bankston plans to graduate in December. His goal is to have a commitment decision “a week or two after the season is over.” His teams final regular-season game is Nov. 9. Why hasn’t Auburn offered yet? “Because I’m a Juco guy and they need to have a more (thorough) background check on me,” Bankston said. “And maybe because I’m ‘undersized” but coach said he doesn’t care about that.”COMMENTS According to Bankston, he plans to visit the Tigers in November. “I’m taking an unofficial to the Iron Bowl but hopefully it’ll be an official if they offer me,” Bankston said.

When Hoover played them this year he kicked several off of the scoreboard which on the Thompson home video is off the screen. The scoreboard is 20 or 30 feet high and he was kicking it in the middle of that on extra points. they probably would have been 40 yard FG's or more. I wasn't sure why he kicked it that hard on the extra points but who cares if you are making them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would we get a transfer to ride the bench? I can't imagine Bo won't be the starter. Hell let's take Cam's little brother then lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
