Devin Sanchez moved into the top ten of the updated On300, checking in at No. 9 overall. We thought Houston North Shore’s product had some of the best sophomore film among cornerback prospects we evaluated for the initial release. Sanchez is a technically skilled corner who fared well against top competition in the state of Texas’ highest classification. His ability to stay attached and make plays on the ball downfield stood out. Sanchez has bolstered his evaluation with some impressive track times this spring, highlighted by a 10.81 second 100 meters mark. The film backed up by the track results helped drive Sanchez’s jump into the top ten.
