Burnt Orange Nation, a Texas Longhorns community

After months of waiting that left the Texas fanbase wondering what was keeping Mack Brown and company from offering 2012 Athens athlete Kendall Sanders, the explosive small-school star finally received his Texas offer after a Wednesday visit to campus. Though he projects well on both sides of the ball in college, the current Oklahoma State commit has made it clear in the past that he wants to play wide receiver in college, despite having the skillset of an elite defensive back. The offer appears to be as a wide receiver. As Tipsy Gypsie points out in the post linked above, it's unlikely that the Longhorns would have offered Sanders if he wasn't ready to make the switch to Texas.

Only days after receiving an invitation to the second Texas Junior Day, Athens ATH Kendall Sanders will reportedly decide between TCU, Texas Tech, and Oklahoma State on Monday. Though he did not rule out a visit to Texas for JD2, it seems unlikely that the coaching staff that receives his commitment would care for him visiting Austin after giving a verbal pledge. Sanders did let it be known that he would prefer to play WR and would likely have been offered as a CB by the Longhorns.

As reported by both Orangebloods and Hookem.com, Athens ATH Kendall Sanders has finally received his invitation to the second Texas Junior Day. Sanders would project at cornerback for Texas and is a strong candidate to commit if offered. Sanders reports offers from Baylor, Missouri, Oklahoma State, TCU, and Texas Tech.
