2027 Wheeling Central RB/LB Dustin Sanner Dustin Sanner 6'1" | 200 lbs | LB/RB Wheeling Central Catholic | 2027 State WV heads into his senior season with a chance to remind people why he is considered one of the top linebacker prospects in the 2027 class. An early injury limited him to just five games as a junior, but even in that short stretch, he managed to finish among the team’s top tacklers and showed the same disruptive traits that have made him such a highly regarded defender. Sanner plays with a relentless motor and burst off the edge, regularly generating pressure and making momentum-shifting plays behind the line of scrimmage. Against the run, he sets firm edges and forces ball carriers back into traffic, the type of physical presence that anchors a defense. Now fully healthy, the expectation is that he returns to being one of the Maroon Knights’ most impactful players with an opportunity to emerge at running back in 2026 as well. If he stays on the field and produces the way he has when healthy, Sanner has every tool to put together a dominant senior campaign on both sides of the ball and solidify himself among the top linebackers in the class.
