On3 5-Star Countdown: No. 6, OT Kelvin Banks

As college football heads toward the proverbial end of the 2022 recruiting cycle, On3 will soon release its final rankings for this year’s senior class.

At the top of those rankings are 32 five-star prospects, each of whom was among the most heavily recruited high school football players in the country this year. Next up on the countdown is the No. 6 prospect in the 2022 class, Humble (Texas) Summer Creek offensive tackle and Texas signee Kelvin Banks.

After checking is at No. 20 in On3’s previous rankings, Banks has ascended into the top 10 of the rankings.

The player evaluations not only include their full senior seasons, but their performances in the practices and games of the Under Armour All-American Game and the All-American Bowl in San Antonio. The final batch of five-stars has some significant movement from the previous rankings, including 15 newly minted members of the club. It also is headlined by a new No. 1 overall player.
