Banks' commitment is the second transfer snag for the Rebels on the day, also landing Virginia Tech Hokies transfer tight end Dae'Quan Wright.
The safety is a native of Ridgeland, Mississippi, and in his collegiate career, he has totaled 147 tackles, 91 of which are solo. He has also hauled in seven interceptions over the course of four seasons.
Banks played his prep ball at Ridgeland High School, and he was a three-star recruit entering the college ranks, rated as the No. 61 player in the state of Mississippi. A part of the 2020 recruiting class, he committed to South Alabama on Dec. 18, 2019.
