Comparison - Has USC ever had an offensive lineman this massive? Banner fills out 6'9" comfortably. Based on measurements, he is built like future NFL Hall of Famer and UCLA alum Jonathan Ogden. He is taller than his dad, former NFL Pro Bowler Lincoln Kennedy, by three inches.
Prep Career - The two-sport star led his high school basketball team to a state title, while also becoming a finalist for the 2012 Watkins Award, given to the nation's top African-American high school scholar-athlete.
Fall Camp - Banner is playing right tackle, but sits under Kevin Graf and walk-on Nathan Guertler on the depth chart. He is a potential redshirt candidate as he continues to polish his technique.
To Quote Banner - "I trust [Coach Kiffin] with the rest of my college career. I trust him with the rest of my freshman season. You've got to trust the people that you put around you. I trust everything he does."
