Five-Star Plus+ OT David Sanders visiting Ohio State this weekend
Charlotte Providence Day Five-Star Plus+ offensive tackle David Sanders is set to continue his tour of spring visits this weekend, as the 6-foot-5.5., 275-pounder will be in Columbus visiting Ohio State for the second time, according to 247Sports’ Steve Wiltfong.
The Buckeyes are one of six finalists in the race for Sanders and have also locked in an official visit with the No. 2 overall prospect in the On3 Industry Ranking for June 21.
“They have an amazing coaching staff and program,” Sanders told On3 upon naming OSU in his top six. “They’re known for developing great offensive tackles. That is something that is really appealing to me! Obviously, it’s no secret that they’re really far from me and I have only visited once.
“I just feel like the relationship between me and Coach Frye is amazing.”
This month has already seen Sanders visit Clemson, Georgia and Alabama. He’s also set to see Tennessee and South Carolina in April and has set OVs with all five programs in addition to the Buckeyes.
Sanders discusses top schools
Sanders broke down his interest in each of his five other finalists alongside Ohio State with On3’s Hayes Fawcett:
Tennessee: I really love the program’s future! They’re in good hands with Nico and another great Quarterback following behind him in George. I love the coaching staff and everything they bring to the table.
Georgia: Obviously it’s no secret that I love Georgia. They’ve been one of the schools that have been at the top for me the whole recruiting process. You can compete for national championships and you can be developed into a first round talent.
Clemson: Clemson has something a lot of other schools don’t. I grew up a die heart Clemson fan. I remember those days as a middle schooler, staying up late to watch them play in the national championship games. It’s just a very unique place and I love everything about them.
South Carolina: They are what I call the land of opportunity. I personally feel as if you go there and win a championship you will become legendary! This is something that is appealing for me the most. The distance from home also plays a little bit of a role knowing how involved I am with my family. I love everything about their program and where they’re headed.
Alabama: You can’t neglect the fact that this program is legendary and will always be that. I loved Alabama before the coaching staff and I think the new coaching staff has done an amazing job recruiting me so far. The biggest thing for them is just getting to know me and building that relationship. So I would feel more comfortable making that decision later on.
