For most college football players, their first time on campus is their first time in the spotlight.
For C.J. Sanders, playing receiver for Stanford or Tennessee or any other major football program might be a step down from what he has already experienced.

Academy in the class of 2015, with offers already from Mississippi State, Stanford and Tennessee, according to Rivals.
