Latrell Bankston

IRVING, Texas — Iowa State junior defensive lineman Latrell Bankston was named the Big 12 Conference’s Defensive Player of the Week.

Bankston registered career-highs with five tackles and two quarterback sacks during the Iowa State football team’s 23-20 win at No. 20 Texas on Friday.

Bankston’s second sack came with nine seconds left in the game, forcing the Longhorns to use their final timeout. It also left Cameron Dicker with a 58-yard field-goal attempt, which he missed wide left as time expired.

No. 12 Iowa State closes the regular season Saturday at West Virginia.
