REPORT: Top tackle to take final visits before commitment
According to a recent report, the top offensive tackle in the class of 2025 may take a series of final visits before announcing his commitment next month. David Sanders Jr. will announce his decision on August 17th. Sanders will decide between Georgia, Ohio State, Tennessee, and Nebraska. Steve Wiltfong of the On3 Network has reported that the tackle will make his announcement after a series of final visits. The tackle, a five-star prospect, plays for Providence Day School in Charlotte, North Carolina. Nebraska was a late addition to Sanders’s recruitment process. When he announced it back in March, the Cornhuskers were left off his top six, but a visit to the Lincoln campus in May appears to have made an impression. The Huskers hope to get the five-star recruit on campus before August 17.
