JUCO DL makes Commitment

Defensive linemen J.J. Sanchez from GCC makes verbal commitment. Scout.com has the details...

The junior college route paid off for nose tackle J.J. Sanchez from Glendale (Az.) Community College.

Sanchez was not a highly recruited player coming out of Glendale Independence High School and spent two years as the Gauchos nose. This past season he recorded 52 tackles and 5 sacks and was named 1st team All-ACCAC and 2nd team All-WSFL.

His play earned him scholarship offers from Southeast Missouri State and Charleston Southern and after making official visits to both programs, Sanchez (6-0 275) committed to SeMo.

He tells Scout.com, "I have family nearby and feel I can come in and play right away. The d-linemen that Coach Samuel has coached when he was at Nebraska is impressive plus my teammate Brandon Harris also committed there."

Sanchez is a mid-year transfer that will have three to play two.
