Special Agent
Now I don't mind this one as much as the other 3 star ones because this kid has some high upside compared to some of the other 3 star recruits we have landed. Sanders is the No. 40 wide receiver in the country and the No. 37 prospect in the state of California by 247Sports.
5-9 177LBs, Other Offers: Duke, Ohio State, Stanford, Tennessee, Vanderbilt. He is the son of former Ohio State and Tennessee Titans wide receiver Chris Sanders.
Strengths
• This is a big-time pickup for the Irish … Sanders has major speed … He’s a legit 4.4-4.5 player in the 40-yard dash … Not only is he fast, but he’s quick and elusive … He has that second gear that turns a short play into a big one … His change of direction is impressive and he has the wiggle to make people miss in the open field … He’s a tough, strong, physical player that prides himself on being a good blocker on the outside … Goes up and attacks the ball at its highest point … Notched a 37-inch vertical leap during Sparq testing.
Areas For Improvement
• He’s thin and will need to add weight, but he has a lot of natural strength … He plays physical and reckless, but will need to contain that in college to avoid an injury, due to his current stature … He’s a tweener, which have kept some schools from offering… Could be excellent in the slot, while some believe he’s better fit to play running back.
So Overall not a bad move. Speed is a need. Just wish we can see some Big time players commit. Some sites have him as a 4 star recruit.
