We sat down with ISU Men’s Basketball Captain Dalton Banks for one of our most inspiring conversations yet.

After transferring from SIU, Dalton faced a tough but transformational journey — from uncovering a lingering injury to rebuilding his game and mindset.

He opens up about leadership, the winning culture at ISU, and what it meant to go out as a CBI Champion.

This one’s for anyone who believes in comebacks, team culture, and finishing strong.
