Physical Profile

Play Style

Limited public film exposure makes detailed play style analysis challenging, but Alabama's recruitment suggests Sanders displays the instincts, physicality, and football IQ valued in their linebacker system. Mater Dei's program typically develops well-rounded linebackers with strong fundamentals.

Strengths

• Elite high school program development - competing at Mater Dei against top-tier competition provides exceptional preparation for college football
• Strong evaluation metrics - 0.9037 composite rating indicates above-average tools and production that caught Alabama's attention
• High-level program commitment - Alabama's interest suggests strong character, work ethic, and coachability despite limited public recruiting profile

Areas to Improve

• National recognition - #312 national ranking indicates room for improvement to reach elite linebacker status

College Projection

Projects as a developmental prospect who could contribute on special teams early before competing for linebacker rotation by sophomore/junior year. Alabama's depth may require patience, but the program's track record with linebacker development is excellent.

NFL Outlook

Current 4-star rating and #312 national ranking suggest potential NFL developmental prospect if he maximizes growth at Alabama, though significant development would be needed to reach draft consideration
