Sanders earned a day three NFL Draft projection from 247Sports national recruiting analyst Cooper Petagna. Here’s what Petagna wrote about Sanders in his evaluation on Feb. 16.
Displays good athleticism at multiple positions across the offensive line, showing the ability to anchor both tackle spots and kick inside to either guard spot.
Appears to have good knee bend and hip flexibility in and out of stance. Demonstrates good foot and body quickness off the LOS. Flashes some quick twitch explosiveness at the point of attack. Possesses above average play strength, shows the ability to move defenders naturally off the line of scrimmage. Plays with good balance and body control, understanding how to leverage defenders and finish blocks. Has some nasty to him. Shows the ability to be able to play out in space, with the ability to play in a power or zone scheme.
Position versatile lineman that can play multiple positions on the offensive line. Long term home could be inside as a guard at the next level but has the ability to play right tackle if needed. Has an excellent play temperament and adds excellent value to an offensive line unit with his versatility. Projects as a high level multi-year starter at a Power Five program at the next level. – Petagna, 247Sports.
According to 247Sports, Sanders holds 23 offers. In addition to Oklahoma, that list includes schools such as Arkansas, Auburn, Florida State, Georgia, Kentucky, LSU, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, TCU and Tennessee.
