TEMPE, Ariz. - Giovanni Sanders is no stranger to earning his stripes.
When he walked on at Arizona State in the summer of 2020, he was betting on himself, in what emerged as his only shot at playing Division I football.
After a high school career where he racked up over 2,300 yards and scored 30 touchdowns, Sanders spent his first collegiate season at Dixie State (now Utah Tech), which at the time fielded a Division II football program.
Sanders didn’t have an abundance of opportunities in Saint George but still grabbed 19 catches for 295 yards.
