Football

By the time David Sanders entered his junior season of high school football, he racked up more than 100 scholarship offers. With all the attention that comes with being a top target, it would be easy to lose focus. Yet, Sanders said his parents keep him grounded. “My parents keep me very humble,” Sanders told the Charlotte Observer. “We try to keep sports talk out of the house because I’ve got three younger sisters, and they don’t to hear about football every two seconds.” Sanders originally arrived at Providence Day School with dreams of playing basketball in college instead of football. But it didn't take him long to figure out the gridiron is his future. “It takes about 15 seconds to watch him do anything, and you go, ‘He’s different,’” Providence Day coach Chad Grier told the Observer. “But what makes him special is how grounded and humble and respectful he is. He’s just a great human. He’s got that million-dollar smile, and he was raised by great parents. He wants to be an orthopedic surgeon. He’s almost too good to be true, and I’ve never been around one like him. I almost don’t want to say it. But I thought he had a chance to be the best prospect I’ve coached, and there’s no question about that now. It’s just about how good can he be?”
