Liberty and Coach Gill have picked up the 5th verbal commit in the class of 2017 from Jayod Sanders. Sanders attends Leon High School in Tallahassee, Florida where he plays linebacker, defensive end, and tight end. The 6’3″, 215 pound prospect had committed to NC Central a couple months ago, but he decommitted from NCCU and has committed to Coach Gill and the Flames. He will play on the defensive line at Liberty.

Sanders joins a class that includes offensive lineman Cooper McCaw (no relation to new AD Ian McCaw), wide receiver Khaleb Coleman, linebacker Remington Green, and defensive back Aaron Pierre.
