The 6-foot-3, 290-pounder has been pursued heavily by Mike Elko and the new staff in College Station. While the Longhorns battled, it’s the Aggies that have landed the in-state pledge, helping A&M continue to build the foundation for its 2025 class.

Sanders is the latest in-state recruit to commit to A&M. He flanks the likes of Katy Paetow four-star cornerback Deyjhon Pettaway, DeSoto four-star running back Deondrae Riden and Forney four-star linebacker Kelvion Riggins.
