'16 TN CB Dorian Banks (Former UT commit)

"Coach (Butch) Jones just makes me feel like I'm home," Banks said during the broadcast. "He makes everybody want to go play for him."

“I’m not concerned about wins and losses or anything like that. And I don’t think anyone is,” Banks told InsideTennessee after the Vanderbilt game on Nov. 23. “You can tell coach Jones is going to turn things around here. With all the recruiting success Tennessee is having and with all the right coaches here, you know they’ll be all right. Their future looks bright and everyone who comes here knows it…

“I just really like everything Tennessee has to offer. From the facilities to the coaching staff to the stadium and Vol Walk, it just feels like a great place to be. They have a lot going for them.”

"I just feel like right now is the time," Banks said. "I feel home at Tennessee and every time I've been there, they have made me feel like they want what's best for me." "He is a great coach," Banks said. "He is doing something special at Tennessee and I want to be a part of that. He cares about his players and that shows when you spend time around him."

"He is an exciting player," Sevier County head coach Steve Brewer said. "He's quick and runs hard. The times he carried the ball this year, his legs were always moving. I think he can put on more weight, but he's a tough kid. He's dangerous with the ball in his hands."

"I saw him improve a lot," Brewer said. "He came from a different offense and it took him a couple of games to trust his blocks. I started to notice him coming of age against Dobyns-Bennett. He came up big from that point on and he was at home. You could see his comfort level was growing with the more plays he made."

Added former Vol Buck Fitzgerald of the Nashville-based Playmakers Academy with whom Banks has previously trained and will seek to compete with on the 7-on-7 circuit beginning Sunday, "He has very good speed and change of direction."

Banks said he's going to do whatever it takes to help Coach Jones recruit other players to Rocky Top.

Dorian and his brothers last night. His brother on the right plays for Arizona. His brother on the left mom works for me. He is all Vol his dad just wants him to wait.

Bro plays for AZ? What's his name? Assume his last name is different, as far as I know, there's no Banks on the UA roster...
 
Dorian's dad played football at Portland State. He has a brother who is a freshman at Gallatin High School and he is going to be a special RB.
