Thank you for coming to the 40 Acres, Kelvin. Without you and the others, we would still be wandering the recruiting and building up a T. Instead, you came in and immediately dominated and were rewarded with all of your hard work.
 

Congrats, man. Hook Em 🤘

Something to note: if Kelvin Banks Jr. wins the Outland Trophy tonight, he'll be the first offensive lineman to win the Outland Trophy and the Lombardi Award in the same season since Orlando Pace in 1996.

Quoting @satyanash.  Great stat.  First time since the great Orlando Pace. Amazing

Wow.  We used to tell ourselves these guys shouldn’t really be playing much until their junior year.  This guy step on campus ready to dominate.   Outstanding.

Dude, he won both the Outland and Lombardi. He's on that Orlando Pace track. LFG
Edit: He also won the Jacob's Blocking Award. Dude went 3/3. Absolutely epic. 

Orlando Pace is a high bar. He met it in college for the most part, but it’s a high bar for a career. Orlando is in the Tom Brady of o linemen discussions. I hope he crushes it next level.

What’s the Jacob’s Blocking award? Never heard of it.

Like someone else said, how’s he healing up?

It's apparently some blocking award the SEC gives out? That's all I know about it. 

As for his healing, they're keeping a lid on it for the time being. Last I heard he was still in a boot, but that could be precautionary. Hopefully he's back by next week. I don't remember if they ever revealed the severity of the injury. It may just be something that heals up quickly. If not, I'm cool with Goosby. He's done a fantastic job filling in for Banks.

Oh man, I think Pace may actually be the best lineman I've ever witnessed. I hope Banks kills it in the league, but yeah, that's a high, high bar to reach.

According to ChatGPT, which may be missing a few, besides Pace the only other players to win both awards were Leroy Selmon, Ndamukong Suh, and Aaron Donald. Pretty good company. 

Glenn Dorsey, Steve Emtman, Tracy Rocker, Dean Steinkuhler, Dave Rimington, Randy White, Ross Browner, John Hicks, Rich Glover, Jim Stillwagon... more than a few have won both. But it's become rarer.

Dean Steinkuhler, Dave Rimington,

This reminds me that the years Nebraska didn't suck get further and further in the rearview mirror with each season and that's just good clean fun if you ask me.

Also congratulations Kelvin. Go wreck some shit
