Evaluation : Rajaun is a new baller to the RNR community but after looking at his page he’s not new to the game. Banks is a RB for the Fort Dorchester Patriots out of SC who runs with purpose. He’s used in off tackle and sweep situations and runs stronger in traffic. Most backs are east to west but RJ will bounce it outside but he’s most effective when he puts his foot in the ground and splits defenders. He’s a strong runner as the gap closes and although he may not make it through the hole every run, he definitely earns more yards after contact because of his aggressive run style.

I like his vision with the rock which allows him to be elusive and make the first man miss. RJ will even spin off a defender seldomly if he needs to. He looks like a raw natural ATH that may need little polishing to become a diamond. Rajaun averages a TD a game according to the film but his most impressive attribute may be what he does without the ball. Many athletes at this age don’t understand the importance of stock blocking but RJ does. He’s a selfless athlete who blocks just as hard as he runs off the edge and in space. On his page he has several pancake blocks that spring a teammate for a TD. I was happy to see those more than the TDs to be honest. None the less RJ is an athlete who is poised to make big plays this year and we can wait to see where he lands at the end of the year!

RJ has earned the Flash E Badge for Elite Elusiveness, The Flex Badge for how strong of a runner he is, and a Cakee King Badge for the Stock Blocking Pancakes. Ra’Jaun Banks is a #RNRCERT1FIED 3 star athlete. But where will he land on the rankings at the end of the year???
