David Sanders Jr. brings five-star upside and real pass-protection promise to Tennessee
David Sanders Jr. is a **high-end offensive tackle prospect** for Tennessee whose biggest differentiators are his elite recruitment pedigree, size, and advanced pass-blocking flashes; in 2025, Tennessee noted he played 49 snaps at right tackle against No. 6 Alabama without allowing a pressure and earned an 84.1 pass-block grade from PFF. He was the No. 1-rated offensive tackle in the 2025 cycle, but he has also dealt with a minor injury that sidelined him for at least two games early on, so the key question is whether his talent quickly translates into dependable every-week availability and consistency.
