He has been in the spotlight since he was a freshman in high school. The No. 2 overall prospect in the 2025 cycle, according to the 247Sports' Composite Rankings, is high on a trio of national programs heading into his senior season: Clemson, Georgia, and Tennessee. The Vols have invested a lot of time into this recruitment, and Sanders understands the ramifications of his decision in the building.

Tennessee offensive line coach Glen Elarbee has done a nice job of retooling his unit since arriving in Knoxville, Tennessee. He did nice work in the 2024 class but has his eyes on a few big fish in 2025, Sanders chief among them. It will take a lot to get Sanders on Rocky Top, though landing Brentwood Academy quarterback George MacIntyre helps them.
