George Costanza was never much of a college football fan. He was a New Yorker, after all. But he was a fan of the No. 7, and so he would have a new favorite college football player in 2020.
A product of Orlando’s Jones High School, Sevyn Banks has been a member of Ohio State’s defensive backfield since 2018. The former 4-star recruit has received limited playing time in the Buckeyes’ loaded defensive backfield, but figures to compete for a starting spot in 2020.
And now he’ll do so in his namesake number.
Banks announced Monday he will switch from No. 12 to No. 7 for the upcoming season.
I’m #7 YALL READY 🙏🏾
— blessed. (@SevynBanks) February 18, 2020
The No. 7 had been claimed by linebacker Teradja Mitchell, who is now switching to No. 3, opening No. 7 for, well, Sevyn.
Banks appeared in all 14 games for Ohio State last season, collecting 11 tackles and one interception.
He’ll hope to get more burn in 2020, with some support from a fictional New Yorker.
