During the current On3 Elite Series showcase, one specific Ohio State football commitment has exposed his freakish measurements.
Five-star Texas native and Ohio State football commitment Devin Sanchez is widely considered one of the top recruits in the 2025 class. While Sanchez has always been known for his speed on the field, the recruit is gaining attention this weekend over his measurements. Sanchez is currently at the On3 Elite Series showcase, which is an event made specifically for the top recruits in the 2025 class.
Ohio State Buckeyes Football Commitment Devin Sanchez Continues to Impress, This Time With His Size
Coming into the showcase, the widely known five-star Ohio State football commitment had already proved to fans and analysts alike that he has incredible talent. Cornerback Devin Sanchez is currently the fifth overall recruit in the 2025 class and the top cornerback in the class as well. Sanchez holds offers from nearly every major program, and was tied to Alabama for quite some time before announcing his commitment to the Buckeyes.
Since committing, Sanchez has both dominated on the football field as well as the track. Coming from a family of accomplished sprinters, Sanchez has both the speed and ability to change direction that truly allows him to surpass other players physically.
As part of the Elite Series showcase, each athlete has their height and wingspan measured much like the NFL would do during the Combine. For Sanchez, the cornerback got his first chance to display his measurements and certainly impressed. The cornerback measured a 6-foot-5-inch wingspan to go along with his height of 6-feet-2-inches.
Ohio State Football Adds a One-Of-A-Kind Player In Sanchez to the Team
Even without seeing Sanchez on the field and just reading his physicals, the cornerback begins to jump off of the page when compared to other recruits. The Ohio State football commitment displays an incredible coverage ability not just due to his speed, but also due to his field vision and natural athleticism. Sanchez holds physical skills and prowess that other recruits simply cannot match, which could be what propels the recruit forward.
Sanchez is a big body, physical cornerback that also has killer speed. The combination of natural ability and football knowledge has allowed him to excel at the High School level, and likely the collegiate level.
Can Devin Sanchez Find his Way Onto the Field as a True Freshman?
For Ohio State football, the goal just might be to bring Devin Sanchez into a starting role as soon as possible. There is no doubt the cornerback is ready physically to play at the next level, but the question is whether or not the Buckeyes feel his is ready from a football intelligence perspective. College football moves much faster than High School football, which can often be a learning curve.
However, with the gifts that Sanchez possesses, it seems highly unlikely there will be a learning curve for the cornerback.
