Nevaeh Sanders brings SEC-ready size and pass-rush juice to Mississippi State
A 6-foot-4, 230-pound graduate student, Sanders is a high-motor, jack-linebacker type whose calling card is disrupting plays in the backfield; in 2024 at Northern Illinois, he posted 5 sacks, 6 tackles for loss and a forced fumble, and Mississippi State expected him to translate that third-down pressure into its defensive front. He’s not just a stat line—he’s a long, explosive edge defender who can bend into the pocket, set a physical tone, and contribute on special teams. If your team wants an effort-first, scheme-specific pass rusher with SEC size, he fits the bill.
