Looking back to last spring, it’s almost difficult to imagine the extent to which playing offense still seemed like a questionable decision for Texas Longhorns tight Ja’Tavion Sanders given his lack of impact as a true freshman and the glaring need for an impact edge rusher.
Fast forward a year later and Sanders is coming off a breakout 2022 season that ranked as one of the best in school history and now has a chance to position himself as one of the top tight ends in the country. There’s a hard ceiling there with Brock Bowers the clear choice as the nation’s best tight end, but it’s not hard to envision Sanders slotting right behind Bowers and perhaps even pushing him as Georgia breaks in a new quarterback.
