High School: North Shore
Devin Sanchez is not just one of the top cornerbacks in the 2025 class but he is also one of the winningest high school football players in America. Sanchez was a multi-year starter for Texas High School football powerhouse North Shore. He has helped the Mustangs win over 30 games in high school career and led them to multiple UIL Texas Football State Finals.
He is the Buckeyes third cornerback commitment in the 2025 class. Sanchez, Na’eem Offord and Jordyn Woods make up an uber-talented haul for Tim Walton this cycle.
How did Sanchez end up at Ohio State?
The Houston native held scholarship offers from all of the top college football programs in the Lone Star State and across the country. Sanchez always had a fascination with Ohio State, however.
Ohio State offered Sanchez in January of 2023. He then made his first visit to Columbus in April and returned to campus a few months later for a multi-day visit in June to camp with the coaching staff.

From that visit on, the Buckeyes were the team to beat for Sanchez. Alabama, LSU, Texas and Texas A&M all pursued the talented Sanchez but he ultimately committed to Ohio State on Jan. 6 at the 2024 All-American Bowl.
“Just the relationship I built with coach Walton and seeing what he has done these past two years,” Sanchez told On3 following his commitment. “Especially this past season with Denzel and Davison, I think he could do the same with me.”
Sanchez was one of the leaders of Ohio State’s 2025 recruiting class along with his parents Daniel and Deetra who were quite active on social media throughout the cycle.
He will be an early enrollee and on campus in January after playing in the Navy All-American Bowl in San Antonio, Texas on Jan. 11.
