Sanford has an On3 NIL Valuation of $6.2K. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
Jordan Sanford On3 Scouting Summary
The following is the On3 Scouting Summary for Jordan Sanford:
“Fluid corner prospect who blankets receivers with his hip fluidity and instincts to run receivers’ routes for them. Productive player who made his presence felt in the run game as well as a junior. Totaled 34 tackles, 7 passes defended and 2 interceptions during his junior season. Lacks ideal arm length but has a compact build for the corner position. Stands in at 5-foot-10.5, 185 pounds with a 6-foot-1 wingspan. Track speed shows on tape as he is able to run with any receiver on the field.
