Proven, disruptive linebacker with ball skills
D.J. Sanders has been a productive, high-impact defender for Middle Tennessee, posting career totals of 131 solo tackles, 8.5 sacks, 4 forced fumbles, and 4 interceptions, which points to a linebacker who can finish plays and create turnovers rather than just clean them up.[2] His 2017 bio also notes he was an honorable mention All-C-USA selection and a permanent team captain, suggesting leadership and consistency mattered as much as his production.[5] That mix of tackling, pass-rush juice, and takeaway upside makes him a fit for teams looking for an instinctive, physical linebacker who can change momentum.
