Recruiting Story
This was about as no-fuss, no-drama recruitment as there could be. Michigan was interested in Sanders. He considered Baylor and Oklahoma State, but pledged to the Wolverines over the summer.
Readiness Level
Could compete to be in the rotation in Year 1, but he is more likely going to need a year before he gets into the rotation due to the depth expected to be ahead of him.
Notes
- Committed Aug. 10, 2024
- Also plays basketball and runs track
Scouting report
The scouting report from 247Sports’ Gabe Brooks:
Unverified size, but looks tall and wiry on the hoof. Instinctive three-phase playmaker with a strong football pedigree as the son of a former all-conference corner who played on some great TCU late 2000s teams. Three-sport athlete with experience in basketball and track and field that shows in functional athleticism on the gridiron. Elevates in the open floor with above-the-rim finishing ability. Productive in all three phases, including two special teams TDs as a junior. Field-stretching vertical shot threat at receiver. Big-framed corner on D with potential to fit a framey boundary corner role quite well, though skill set and instincts also could fit over the top at safety. Not necessarily a top-end burner but plenty fast with unorthodox gait, but does not get caught from behind. Bona fide Power Four prospect in the secondary. Owns the developmental potential to become a difference maker in college with NFL Draft upside.
