Scouting Report - Sanders obviously comes from a family known for its football acumen and from a publicity standpoint, adding the son of NFL legend Deion Sanders is only a good thing. On the field, Sanders is a long, rangy prospect who could play cornerback or safety at the next level. He's also a dangerous return man and has impressive ball skills from his younger days as a quarterback. Adding Sanders late in the game is a low-risk, potentially high-reward move by South Carolina. - Rivals.com's Woody Wommack

Muschamp on Sanders: “He’s a guy that’s really only played high school football for two years. He’s only spent his time and dedicated himself to the game for those two years. Kevin Mathis was his position coach, who played with T-Rob with the Atlanta Falcons. Listening to him talk to us about how quickly he’s matured and his genetic upside is huge. He’s got really good length, speed at the top end and very good change of direction. He also played receiver and has return skills.”
