Congrats to this young man.

Hope this Junior comes back he is not ready to move up, on many different levels. He would be well Tutored by these coaches especially Banks and Ekeler getting him ready for life and hopefully NFL.

 

[MSME Vol]

Congrats to him.

Really need some quality backup behind him next year to lighten that load some

Great observation. He's come a long way already from his first two seasons under the influence of the former coaching staff. If the current staff can continue to work with him on playing under control, while maximizing his athletic ability, he could have a bright future playing on Sundays.

Need our D line to get more push so our LBs can make more plays in the backfield

 

[volfanhill]

He's number one in personal foul calls

 

[TheDeeble]

Where does he rank in penalties against?

Normally I don't like players that get PF calls and that get in the face of opposing players but I like JB's enforcer attitude. We absolutely need that with this defense. He's earned the right to talk trash.

 

[FïreBall]

Way to go JB! GoVols!

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

He is a tackling machine.
the weird thing is I’m still not even sure if he is a good linebacker. not a knock, he is a strong athlete, do his skills translate to the nfl?

 

[TitanicVolz]

Man could u imagine how bad things would have been if we didn't have Banks?I love love love the way the kid plays,he's done a great job and kudos to the coaching staff for reining in the personal fouls.

Edit-Woukd say reigned in but he's done a good job of keeping it under control...

What a great story. Mucho proud of this guy. Glad he’s a Vol.

 

[Titan&Volfan4life]

He's turned out to be much better than many people thought he would.

CONGRATS to this young man!

VFL...GBO!!!

He's number one in personal foul calls

That’s why he needs to stick around and grow up some more.

 

[Jauan't Some?]

Not a knock on Banks, he’s played well this year, but don’t forget that defensive statistics will be skewed due to the sheer amount of snaps they’ve played.

 

[jonnon111]

I am proud considering he was recruited at RB. I know he has played a lot of snaps, but he has to have the motor to get there.

Keep balling young man

 

[Volintheswamp]

Has the potential to be one of UT’s best if he comes back next year and learns to turn it off after the play is over.

 

[Bigorange123]

Way to grow. Way to look at the big picture. Go and make your money.

 

[Orange defense]

Congratulations! I always had faith in this kid. I know about some of the bad plays, but man, he has turned it on. Go Banks!

 

[guido4198]

Jeremy has grown. He’s not all he can be, or should be.. not yet. I hope he will continue to grow both as a player and as a man. I’m glad he got another chance to remain a Vol and pray for him to make the most of it.
CONGRATULATIONS JEREMY..!!!

 

[deezvols]

He’s made some boneheaded decisions, but he plays with a fire that few have here in the last decade or two.

 

[HarsinVol]

Need our D line to get more push so our LBs can make more plays in the backfield

and make less tackles altho that seems to be our defensive scheme.

DL has been much better than our LBs. Our LBs are slow and are bad in coverage.

Not even close, his pff rating is really low. I do admire his effort.

 

[salsahound]

I really like his aggressiveness, but misses many tackles also. My point is, I remember him playing running back and fumbling a lot, but I also remember his running like a freight train. I want him back.
