Bellville High School coach Grady Rowe said DJ Sanders has "limitless upside." "First off, his athletic ability, everybody sees that,” Rowe told Rivals.com. “He’s 6-3, 315 pounds, but he’s light on his feet, can move. That’s the first thing that sticks out, that he can move, can bend. He’s just so athletic. And then he’s explosive at the same time. You don’t see a lot of 300-pounders that can move like he can move.” But Rowe said Sanders is more than just a good athlete. "He's a great kid, No. 1," Rowe said. "He’s not a big-time talker. He doesn’t take it for granted. He’s not one I have to worry about getting a big head. A lot of times, when you have four- and five-star guys, you worry about them getting a big head, not play for the team. That’s the furthest thing away from him. That’s just not him. He’s just a good kid.” As a junior in high school, Sanders was a first-team all-district performer in football and basketball, along with a regional qualifier in the shot put. “A lot of colleges came through last year, saw him playing basketball and said ‘That’s a no-brainer, coach.’ You don’t see many 300-pounders that can get up and dunk, bounce around like that,” Rowe said.
