This is the second time Latrell Bankston has been chosen, but he has finally started to fit what we always envisioned for him at Iowa State. Bankston is coming off a massive performance against Texas that ultimately landed him as Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week. Not only was he award this honor, Bankston has been playing his best football over the last two weeks since his arrival in Ames.
Against Kansas State Bankston did not record a tackle but he was very instrumental in taking on the Wildcat offensive line and allowing the rest of his teammates to dominate.
