Well, one did and he’s on his way to Baton Rouge as Ohio State transfer Sevyn Banks has announced he’ll finish his college career at LSU.
The 6-foot-1, 200-pound Banks visited LSU last week and sources say he was looked at extensively by medical personnel and given a clean bill of health. It was reported that he missed the last few games of last season due to a significant hip injury.
Banks was a part of Ohio State’s class of 2018. He prepped at Jones High School in Orlando. He has already graduated from Ohio State and has two years of athletic eligibility remaining.
