🎉 Congratulations to our own Brad Banks, Sports Sales Manager at the Aurora Area CVB, on being named to this year's National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame ballot! Brad's legendary 2002 season as quarterback at University of Iowa—where he received the 2nd most votes for that year's Heisman Trophy, won the Davey O'Brien Award, and led the Hawkeyes to a Big Ten title—continues to inspire fans and teammates alike. We're proud to celebrate this well-deserved recognition of Brad's impact on and off the field!
