Brandon Banks: If you don't know, SMH.




Brandon Banks ring a bell? Well it should. He is the best player in college football that no one is talking about outside of the state of Kansas and the Big 12 conference. The 5'7" 142 pound senior wide receiver out of Kansas State will be a household name this year, watch.

Have you heard of Percy Harvin and Jeff Demps, the two wideouts that left dead grass streaks all of the SEC last year? I'm sure you have, Harvin was a first round draft pick last year, and Demp is one of Florida's top returning players. Banks is considerably smaller than both, although they all three have the same playing style, but Banks is better than both of the Florida standouts. Yes, I said it. He is just as quick, a better route runner, has better hands, and for as small as he is he goes over the middle fearlessly. If he Banks was 5'10 175 and not 5'7 142 he would have been a 5 star recruit coming out of Bakersfield Junior College.

Look at last year's number for the KSU wideout. He posted 67 grabs for 1049 yards and 9 tds, added one more with a 93 yard touchdown run against Mizzou, and a 98 yard kick off return against Nebraska. I can't wait to see what he does in 2009. Whatever it is, it will be monumental and this kid will play in the NFL. Once he gets there, he needs to buy Roscoe Parrish, Santana Moss, and Sinorice Moss all nice watches for bringing the extremely small wideouts back into style. I can go on forever about this kid, but I'll let his highlight tape do the talking.


That's all I got,
