Ben Hanks Jr. knows what it takes to play at the highest level. All he has to do is search for some clips of his father – Ben Hanks Sr. – during his time in the NFL and with the Florida Gators. "My dad was a winner and accomplished so much during his playing career," Hanks said about his father, a former All-SEC linebacker who won three league titles under Steve Spurrier in the 1990s. "But he also knows that everything can change in a minute, because he only played a few seasons in the NFL. He's taught me to stay focused and never give up on my dreams." In his first two seasons at the varsity level at Miami Booker T. Washington, Hanks produced 35 tackles, five interceptions, eight pass breakups and three fumble recoveries.
