Redshirt senior cornerback Ishmael Banks is preparing to make his way to the NFL after wrapping up his college career. Playing against Kevin White alone in practice should help be a good indicator have his skill set for the game.

Banks is a solid prospect with good hips and is not afraid to lower his shoulder and be a factor in the run game. A slight hamstring pull limited him during his Pro Day which is always a negative for the player, but does not mean he won't be ready when the NFL comes calling.

Nate Boyer is one of the most unique NFL Draft Prospects available in the 2015 NFL Draft. He spent the last three seasons long snapping for the Longhorns. He also handled punt-snapping duties in 2013-14. 

The background of how Boyer got to Texas and where he wishes to go since he left is one of the better stories you will come across. Waking up on September 11, 2001 and witnessing the horrific devastation inspired Boyer to spend nearly a decade serving our country on the front-lines.

He returned from several tours of duty to walk-on at Univsersity of Texas and eventually become the long snapper. Add in the fact that Boyer is training to become an NFL long snapper at the age of 34 makes his impressive and inspirational story that much more to take an interest in.
