Jordan Sanford
One of the fastest players in the country visited Texas Tech for its annual spring game over the weekend. Timberview defensive back Jordan Sanford made the trip to the 806, and it won't be long before he returns either.
RedRaiderSports caught up with the 6-foot, 185 pound prospect to get the latest in his recruitment and more.
What you need to know...
... Sanford announced his offer from Tech on December 16th, 2021. At the time, the Red Raiders were his second offer behind only Arkansas.
... He has since picked up additional opportunities from SMU, Vanderbilt, Liberty, Northwestern, Colorado, Rice, Utah State, Indiana, Oklahoma State, TCU, UTSA and Washington.
... Per his MaxPreps page, Sanford put up 34 tackles, a sack, two interceptions, seven passes defended and a touchdown defensively. He also added four catches for 57 yards on offense. Following the season, he was named honorable mention District 5-5A defensive back.
... Sanford is also a standout on the track, recently running a 10.55 100 meter dash in the District 7/8 Area Championships to place first.
Fit at the next level: "Corner or safety, I can do either. Most schools are just recruiting me to come up there and play for them, and whenever I get up there wherever I shine at, that's probably where I'll play."
Spring game visit: "When I got there we checked in, we did a photoshoot and then I was able to talk with coach (Joey) McGuire before the game started. After that I was able to meet with coach (Marcel) Yates, coach (Jah'Shawn) Johnson and coach (Ryan) Conry. Then I was able to sit and watch the spring game.
I loved it, the defense was out there killing it."
Tech coaches: "I usually talk to them every day or every other day. I don't go a long time without hearing from them. We have a good relationship.
What stands out about Tech compared to other schools is my relationship with the coaches for sure."
Upcoming visits: Sanford recently took visits to Oklahoma State, Vanderbilt, TCU and Texas Tech, and says a return trip to Lubbock is on the horizon.
"I'm gonna be back at Texas Tech this upcoming week, and I'll probably take a visit to Northwestern. I'm just trying to finish up track season, make it to state and go win state and all that. Then I'm gonna start setting up more visits."
Connecting with other Tech commits: Texas Tech has a ton of players from the 817 on the roster, including Landon Hullaby, Jacoby Jackson, Joseph Adedire, Clayton Franks and Caleb Rogers among others. That certainly appeals to a guy like Sanford.
However, Sanford said lately he's been trying to connect more with the other members of Tech's 2023 class to find out why they thought Texas Tech was the right move for them.
"I've actually been trying to connect more with the 2023 commits like Brenden Jordan, Calvin Simpson-Hunt, guys like that. Just trying to get a feel of why they committed there."
How track helps him in football: "Really I'm just doing track so I can stay competitive. I just like being out there and competing, and if I'm able to go win the meet, go win state and all that then that's just a bonus."
Narrowing down his options: "I haven't really thought about that but I'll probably make a top 5, top 7 or something like that.
As for a commitment, possibly before the season. That's probably what I'm shooting for right now."
