Being a West Coast kid I grew up watching West Coast players. And although I'm from Oregon there was a guy I watched in California that always impressed me. That player was Jack Banks from Cal Berkeley who then went on to play in the ISFL for the New York Silverbacks. Although we play different positions it was Banks' drive and determination that really resonated with me. He went out there and gave it his all every single play. He ended up with 100 career sacks and an Ultimus title. A hell of a ride. Although I am unable to take the field at the same time as him I am very fortunate to be drafted by the same team that he found success with. My goal is to be as much of a dominant and disruptive force on defense as Banks was. And thankfully for me, Banks has taken me under his wing and has been showing me just what it means to be a pro. I can't wait to start playing at the next level, and I couldn't pick a better mentor to help me along the way.
