Patriots sign Keshawn Banks, a Rio Rancho native, to practice squad
Keshawn Banks played four years at San Diego State before embarking on an NFL career.
The New England Patriots signed Rio Rancho native Keshawn Banks to their practice squad on Wednesday.
A 6-foot-3, 255-pound linebacker, Banks joins the Patriots after spending last season, his first in the NFL, with the Green Bay Packers. The 24-year-old spent all of the regular season on the Packers practice squad and made his NFL debut in a 24-21 playoff loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
A two-time All-Mountain West honoree, Banks recorded 42 tackles for loss as a defensive end at San Diego State from 2019-2022. He was recruited by the Aztecs out of Rio Rancho High School, where he won a state championship in 2016 and was rated as a three-star recruit.
