We all know the athletes that grace the cover of VYPE have athletic prowess, eye-popping stats, big-time offers and have plethora of stars next to their names.
But who are they outside of football, what makes them tick?
Get to know Kelvin Banks Jr. the Oregon-commit from Summer Creek High School and a 2021 VYPE Cover boy.
VYPE: SO, YOU ARE NAMED AFTER YOUR DAD. WHAT'S THAT LIKE?
Banks: There's no pressure but you always have to think about – you have your dad's name. So, you have to show the type of man he raised you to be. Not go out there and do anything dumb. Be a respectable young man and do everything you're supposed to do.
VYPE: OUTSIDE OF FOOTBALL, WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO?
Banks: One of my biggest hobbies is going fishing with my dad and pawpaw. We do saltwater fishing, so we catch drums and reds. And then I like playing video games like Madden, Call of Duty and UFC.
VYPE: WHAT'S IT LIKE TO REPRESENT SUMMER CREEK HIGH SCHOOL?
Banks: It feels good. Just being able to represent my school in a good way and have everybody look at me and see an example that they can follow.
