There's not really any film yet and not every site has been able to profile Banks.

He had a good showing at the Nike Dallas Combine, getting a mention on ESPN Rise for his SPARQ results. No ESPN profile yet.

247 Sports hasn't profiled Banks yet, either, but they did a preview of his powerhouse Denton-Ryan football team for 2011 which included a glowing review of him that kicked off the article:

Edwards not alone at DE

It’s not very often when a 6-foot-3, 280-pound defensive end and possible five-star recruit, Florida State commitment Mario Edwards, Jr., isn’t the “first guy off the bus” on a high school team, but that is the case at Ryan.

Fellow defensive end Dominique Banks, at 6-foot-3, 250-pounds, is one of the best looking players on the hoof in the country in the 2012 class. While he played behind Edwards and Louisiana Tech signee Ty Hook as a junior, Banks has already picked up verbal offers from Kansas State and North Texas with very little game video available.

If there is a prospect that is sure to pick up a number of offers in May and throughout his senior season, it’s the physical specimen with 4.65-speed that doubles as a post player on the varsity basketball team.

Leave it to BB to find the video. Nice.

I love that we're hitting the big Denton programs so hard. Getting in early on Banks should make a difference, too.
 
Really slow to get off the ball. Also takes his time to get into a stance. These are coachable traits. Love the size and athleticism though.
 
He has picked up more BCS offers during the Spring Evaluation Period, but he is all but set to commit to Mississippi State, in large part because he is originally from the state. Pretty raw player but lots of potential.
