Expert Analysis
Connor Jackson | Prep Redzone Scout
Sanders debuted high in our initial 2029 RB rankings, and his performance backed up that ranking. I love the way this kid plays. He is a shorter, but lean player with a low center of gravity. He is light on his feet and shifty, which helped him separate in his routes. Sanders is a prime breakout candidate and has the look of a player with a high floor. I am expecting this kid to continue performing well on the camp scene, which will only continue to raise his stock.

. Sanders is going to have a massive showing at our PRZ Winter Showcase. He has the ability to really make a splash here and elevate his name even more in the recruiting world. Let’s see how he does, I expect him to do very well in a strong group of backs.

Sanders is primed for a major season with Marietta, and he will be a prospect that is watched closely. He is one of the higher-ranked backs, but there will be many people watching to see how he does against the top-end talent. Sanders has the chance to be a top running back in the 2029 class, and a huge event on Saturday will do just that for the Prep Redzone staff. I predict that he will have a major showing after a great first season of high school football. This will put him on the radar.

Read EvaluationCaleb Sisk | Prep Redzone Scout
As a freshman, he finished the season with nearly 800 yards rushing and 12 touchdowns. He was one of the better players in the Marietta program and is only set to improve. I believe Sanders has a chance to prove that he is the best running back in the state for the 2029 class, but if he is going to do that, he will need to outwork multiple ranked guys and some of the better names on the list.

Sanders is a good definition of a clutch player. His playmaking ability as an athlete is special and he can make plays anywhere at any point on the field regardless of where you want to place him. He’s a sure playmaker that will come up big in the clutch!

Sanders is a guy I have covered before and he continues to be more impressive everytime I see him in action. He’s an athlete is can play anywhere and he does it naturally. His natural ability makes him special and it’s one reason why I consider him one of the better athletes in the 2029 class.

Sanders has a natural ability to spot the football whether it be on offense or defense. He has great ball skills to go along with athleticism and a high game IQ. Once Sanders gets the ball in his hands it’s very easy for him to create a large gain and even score. He sets a tone on both sides of the ball for his team.
