After not playing a single down in his freshman redshirt season when he could have played in four games and not burned any eligibility–we finally saw Sanders in live college action on Friday night in Corvallis, Oregon.
Spencer Sanders if he stays healthy will become the greatest quarterback in O State’s football history.
In the Mike Gundy era that would include Bobby Reid, Zac Robinson, Brandon Weeden, Clint Chelf, Mason Rudolph, and Corndog Taylor.
There’s a reason he was named the Gatorade High School Player of the Year in 2018. The reason is he has it all.
Size, mobility, the ability to beat you with his legs, and a good arm. Plus, he appears to have a good head on his shoulders.
Granted, Oregon State isn’t much defensively, but Sanders played with calm and smarts and took off with his legs when needed.
It should be a glorious college football season of quarterback play in Oklahoma with Jalen Hurts and Spencer Sanders. It will be hard to focus on the Thunder until football season… which in reality—might be a blessing during a season of reset with the Thunder as they try to sustain as an NBA franchise.
