Anthony Lamar "Tony" Banks (born April 5, 1973) is a former professional American football quarterback who played in the NFL. As part of the Baltimore Ravens, he helped the team win Super Bowl XXXV over the New York Giants. Banks serves as a football sideline reporter on the Big Ten Network alongside Chris Denari and Jeremy Leman.
Banks attended Hoover High School in San Diego, California, and was a letterman in football, basketball, and baseball.
Banks played right field for the Minnesota Twins' Class A team in Ft. Myers, Florida, before enrolling at San Diego Mesa College in San Diego. He played there two years before transferring to Michigan State University. Banks places among the all-time record holders at Michigan State. He ranks sixth in passing completion percentage, tenth in career passing yards, and tenth in passing touchdowns. Banks was the first quarterback selected in the 1996 NFL Draft.
In the October 2010 issue of Sports Illustrated, former NFL agent Josh Luchs alleges he paid Banks 'several hundred dollars a month', while Banks was at Michigan State, a violation of NCAA eligibility rules if true.
