Soccer News has named Green Bay men's soccer midfielder JC Banks (Milwaukee,
Wis.) to its Preseason Second Team All-America.
Banks enters his senior year after having an impressive
junior season. Banks became the first player in men's soccer history to be
named the Horizon League Player of the Year. In addition Banks was named the
Horizon League Offensive Player of the Year and selected to the All-Tournament
Team following Green Bay's first Horizon League Championship.
While starting all 20 games for the Phoenix, Banks led the
Horizon League in goals (13), assists (10) and points (36). Known for his
