Five-Star Plus+ OT David Sanders breaks down role of NIL in recruitment

David Sanders has a major month of official visits on tap in June.

The 6-foot-6, 276-pound offensive lineman is the top uncommitted prospect in the 2025 class. He’s slated to visit Clemson, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama and Ohio State. The Five-Star Plus+ prospect kicked off his visit schedule at South Carolina and also checked out Nebraska.

As the No. 2 overall player in the 2025 recruiting class, Sanders isn’t naive. He’s received some notable NIL offers in the last 12 months as his recruitment has heated up. But with the help from his parents, he’s been able to keep his recruitment focused on football.

“I think it’s been pretty good,” Sanders told On3 on Tuesday at the On3 Elite Series. “My parents handle most of my NIL stuff with WME and everything like that. I think it’s been really good. They know it’s a good corporation to be under, so they’ve been a great help.”
