Brian Banks will try out for Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll. Carroll recruited Banks when he coached at USC.

That was before Banks was sent to prison for a rape he didn’t commit.

Banks was able to get his accuser to confess on tape that the rape never happened, after she sent a friend request to Banks through Facebook.

Banks received legal assistance from The Innocence Project at San Diego’s Cal Western Law School.
