Banks, a junior from Humble, has started all 27 games during the first two years of his Texas career. He was recently named to the preseason All-SEC first-team. He was a second-team All-American and a first-team All-Big 12 honoree in 2023.

Scott Appleton (1963), Tommy Nobis (1965), Brad Shearer (1977), and T’Vondre Sweat (2023) are the Longhorns who have been honored as the nation’s top interior lineman

Per release, the FWAA will announce the Outland Trophy semifinalists on Nov. 20, and those players will then be paired down to three finalists announced on Nov. 26. The Outland Trophy winner is chosen from those finalists who will be part of the annual FWAA All-America Team.

The FWAA All-America Committee, after voting input from the entire membership, selects a 26-man first team and eventually the three Outland finalists. Committee members, then by individual ballot, select the winner. Only interior linemen on offense or defense are eligible for the award; ends are not eligible.
