MONTEREY PARK, Calif. – Caught up with Rivals250 outside linebacker Abduall Sanders last weekend in California during the first Rivals Camp Series stop. It meant a lot to be invited to a camp for Sanders who wanted to show what he could do in front of the people who analyze his game.


“My goal is of course to just get better but I feel like people haven't seen everything I can do,” Sanders said. “So, I feel like I can showcase that and show people that I’m the guy.”

When asked who has been recruiting him hardest, there is a strong group. Alabama and Tennessee are among the schools after him the hardest. Ohio State has turned up heat after offering recently. But there is a previous connection with the Alabama staff.

“My first impression was great because I was getting recruited by them heavy at Washington. We already built that bond and relationship,” Sanders said.

“So once they went over there to Bama its just a bigger stage. But they are coming at me way harder now. I love the coaching staff. I love Coach DeBoer, Coach Kane Wommack and everyone over there. They are good people.”

The Tide figure to be a big part of Sanders’ recruitment moving forward. He’s got a strong sense of what he’s looking for in a future school.

“Other than a great football team, history and school? I’d say the staff on and off campus that can just build me as a man and as a better player. Everyone wants to play but if you can help build me to be a guy that can be a future NFL star that would be the best.”
