“I had to finish a class I needed for my major to finish up my degree and graduate this summer so I could grad transfer and finish my last season,” Sanders told Rivals.com. “I’ve had my mind set on Ohio for a while. The coaching staff there is high energy and I feel as if they can help me get to where I want to go.”

The 6-foot, 190-pounder completed his career at Missouri State with 133 tackles – 97 solo –17 pass deflections, three interceptions and two forced fumbles in 40 games. He also averaged 16.2 yards per kickoff return.

While at Missouri State Sanders saw action at both corner and safety. So, where will Ohio use him?

“I’ll be going in as a CB but it’ll be up to them where they want to put me that best suits the defense.”
