Q. Kelvin, you were a Longhorn fan growing up. How long has that been?
KELVIN BANKS, JR.: I was born in 2004 so I wasn't really like -- I used to watch college football, I'd watch back highlights and stuff, it started there. I would say I was probably about like five when I first started. So it was definitely from there on, I've been a Longhorn fan ever since. A real long time coming.
Q. Was it always the goal?
KELVIN BANKS, JR.: In recruitment I would do what I thought was best or best from my future but it ended up being Texas. Happy that I chose to come here and it's been the best decision of my life.
Q. How do you feel now?
KELVIN BANKS, JR.: I feel good coming off the injury. In football you're never going to feel a hundred percent. I feel awesome. I feel good. I feel ready to go.
Q. Are you excited about the thought of being a first round NFL pick?
KELVIN BANKS, JR.: I try not to look at it too much because you get bundled up into that or your assignments or what you have to do in the moment. It's good to see your hard work paying off. It's fun to see that.
Q. Tell me about Cam as a guy.
KELVIN BANKS, JR.: Man, Cam is a great person off the field and then as a player, man, Cam, he's like a sponge. He loves to soak in information. I would say that was his biggest leadership from last year to this year. We knew he had athletic ability. Everybody could see it. He has the right body frame for it and the right technique skills. It was just a matter of him soaking in the game plan, going to different spots. Just knowing the little things about the game, not the big things.
But the big things, you could obviously see the big things, and you could get here and get there and you know who to block. But different things like formation, different things like understanding when pressure is going to come, where you might get a pick. There's different things like that. Grown a lot from that point and I feel like he's been doing pretty good for us.
Q. You were a guy that stepped in -- how much do you think that Kansas State, how much did that help him?
KELVIN BANKS, JR.: It was definitely hard for me at some points because like I'm coming from high school where I'm winning every rep, doing this and that, killing people, getting in the game, I might do this and that. But it definitely means a lot to get that first game under your belt before you start getting into the actual play of football because at the end of the day, it's kind of a learning experience. The more you play, the more you know; the more you understand the game of football. It definitely helps a lot.
