Early life

Sanders attended Palmetto High School in Palmetto, Florida for his first three years of high school. As a senior, Sanders transferred to Manatee High School in Bradenton, Florida. He was joining his uncle, who was the defensive backs coach at Manatee, but the Florida High School Athletic Association ruled that Sanders was ineligible to play because he was recruited to transfer to Manatee.[1]

College career

Sanders' transfer forcing him to sit out his senior season, might have cost him a chance and playing Division I-A football, and he enrolled at Eastern Illinois University.[1]
