Recap the Week: GBK Post-Practice Player Interviews with WR Brady Anderson, LB Kai Woolfolk and LB Bryson Banks

As Army football prepares for 2026, a new group of players is stepping into bigger roles, and three recent GBK conversations offer a closer look at the work happening behind the scenes. In interviews with GBK’s Joe Iacono, junior wide receiver Brady Anderson and sophomore inside linebackers Kai Woolfolk and Bryson Banks reflect on their development, the lessons they’ve learned from those who came before them, and what it takes to compete at Army. Brady Anderson is Building on a Breakout Season Coming off a breakout 2025 season, junior wide receiver Brady Anderson is entering preseason camp with momentum, and a clear focus on what comes next. Anderson sits down with Joe Iacono to discuss his continued development, his growing chemistry with quarterback Cale Hellums, and the areas of his game he is sharpening ahead of the 2026 season. Kai Woolfolk Competing for a Bigger Role At inside linebacker, sophomore Kai Woolfolk is among the players competing for one of the key positions left open following the departure of last year’s co-captains, Andon Thomas and Kalib Fortner. Woolfolk talks with Iacono about the competition at inside linebacker, the lessons he learned from Thomas and Fortner, and what he is taking from working with Coach “Juice” Weaver. With two proven leaders no longer anchoring the middle of Army’s defense, Woolfolk knows the opportunity comes with both competition and responsibility. Bryson Banks Talks Going From Buford to West Point Sophomore inside linebacker Bryson Banks is also making his case for one of the open spots in the middle of Army’s defense. Banks reflects on how playing for powerhouse Buford High School in Georgia and spending time at USMAPS helped prepare him for the demands of college football. He also opens up about balancing cadet life with the expectations of being a Division I athlete, while sharing the lessons he took from Thomas and Fortner. From Anderson’s continued emergence at wide receiver to Woolfolk and Banks competing for leadership roles at inside linebacker, all three conversations highlight a common theme: Army’s next chapter is already taking shape. Watch all three GBK interviews to hear directly from the players preparing to take on bigger roles when the 2026 campaign begins.
