South Vigo safety Brighton Sanders Brighton Sanders 6'3" | 175 lbs | DB/WR Terre Haute South | 2027 State IN flashes being a baller. He has good closing speed, squares up at the point of contact, and is a solid open-field tackler in space. He does a great job of wrapping up without overextending, plays within his frame, and can deliver some heavy hits. Displays good ball skills and has the ability to flip the field after interceptions. Sanders picked up his first offer from Franklin College over the past week. Great size-speed combination with the frame to grow in a college weight program.

Sanders is a unique prospect with a frame that screams X receiver, but the production that stands out is on defense. He’s long and built like a wideout, but he made his biggest impact on the other side of the ball with 98 tackles, 1 interception, 2 passes deflected, and 4 forced fumbles. He plays physical, wraps up well, and has a knack for getting the ball out. That mix of length, athleticism, and toughness gives him value across the board, and it’ll be interesting to see how he’s used moving forward.
