Early years
A native of Savannah, GA, Banks was the second of five children raised by single-mother Remicent Charles. After years of begging his mother to sign him up for the local youth football league, Remy Charles finally gave in and signed her son up for the seventh grade football team. Local coaches quickly recognized the raw talent Banks possesed, and he received a scholarship to attend Benedictine Military High School in Savannah. Banks started his first varsity High School game in Ninth grade, and he compiled 264 rushing yards and 3 touchdowns on 11 carries, 182 receiving yards and 2 touchdowns on 5 receptions, and 2 punt returns for touchdowns. The next day Banks received his first 8 collegiate scholarship offers. Over Banks' high school career he broke the GHSA records for receiving yards and punt returns for touchdowns with 55 and 23 respectively. In the final composite football recruiting rankings, Banks was a 5 star and top 20 player in the nation. As a highly coveted recruit, Banks did his due dilligence and took visits across the nation to top programs before he made his viral commitment via Twitter on January 3, 2024. The video opened to Banks standing in front of three hats: Oklahoma, Georgia, and Clemson. After the typical gracious pleasantries of any commitment, Banks picked up the Clemson hat before pausing, tossing it aside, and proclaiming "Just kidding I'm a *explative* Dawg". The video then cut to Banks doing gentle "snow angles" in a pile of Bulldog puppies.
College career
Banks' Freshman year, he was arrested for a minor charge prior to the season opener. The arrest caused Banks to be suspended for the first 4 games of the season. Once Banks regained eligibility he spent the next three games playing exclusively on special teams punt and kickoff coverage. It wasn't until the eighth game of the season against the University of Kentucky that Banks received snaps on Offense. In that game Banks caught two balls for 29 yards. Banks put up solid numbers the rest of the season, including a 6 reception 107 yard performance in a losing effort during the SEC title game against Alabama. UGA finished the year at 11-3 after an Outback Bowl victory over Nebraska. Banks' 23 receptions, 312 yards, and 2 touchdowns were enough to earn him second team Freshman All-SEC Honors. Banks used a no non-sense spring camp to develop into a starter for the team prior to his successful Sophomore campaign. Banks finished the season with 67 receptions, 904 yards, and 8 touchdowns which helped lead UGA to an SEC Championship and Cotton Bowl Semi-Final appearance. The following year Banks was made a team captain and garnered all sorts of pre-season All-American honors. Banks' Junior season lived up to the hype and helped to finally put UGA over the top and win a National Championship. The 72 receptions, 1152 receiving yards, and 11 touchdowns allowed Banks to rack up the post season honors including: the Biletnikoff Award, first team All-SEC, first team All-American, and a seventh place finish in the Heisman voting.
