Leaving New Mexico
Sanders has entered the NCAA transfer portal, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Sanders will explore opportunities elsewhere after spending one year with the Lobos. The 5-foot-11 junior, who previously played with Iowa State, posted 147 carries for 1,064 yards and nine touchdowns on the ground, along with 15 receptions for 134 yards through the passing game. Sanders, a true dominator with New Mexico, averaging 7.2 yards per carry, will likely draw the attention of power-five programs in the portal.
