2025 Bellville defensive tackle DJ Sanders commits to Texas A&M

Texas A&M goes down the road to the “Pasture of Pain” to nab their latest commitment today with the verbal pledge of 2025 Bellville DT DJ Sanders‍.

The cousin of longtime NFL wideout Emmanuel Sanders, DJ chooses the Aggies over Alabama, Oklahoma and Baylor. 

The 6-foot-3, 290-pounder is Mike Elko’s 20th commit of the 2025 class, and Sanders has been a priority target since the Aggies offered in September of 2022. 

It’s pretty easy to see why Sanders was so coveted once you turn the tape on. He’s extremely explosive and light on his feet for such a big kid. The agility for a 300-pounder is impressive. He displays an elite first step and exceptional play strength. His sturdy build also helps him hold his ground and anchor in the run game. He has made a habit of being in the opposing backfield quite a bit in his career at Bellville.

You can check out his highlights below. 

Stay tuned. We’ll have much more soon for our TexAgs Premium subscribers as the Aggies reel in a top local talent.

Outstanding addition to this class.

Interesting choice to mention him choosing us over Alabama, Oklahoma and Baylor when it really came down to us over Michigan and sip. Hell everyone wanted him, but he made the right choice.

Fantastic pickup. I will take a big talented kid in the trenches any day over some diva ass WR that will immediately be a 50/50 transfer risk. Love the tape. Welcome aboard DJ

Definitely a huge pickup and lessens the sting of some other recent misses.

Very high ceiling potential. He'll have some work to do with technique as he's gotten away with just dominating by being overwhelmingly stronger than his competition. But can't teach the quickness he has at that size.

Whoop! Kid has some huge upside, glad Elko was able to get him. Saw him play against Wimberly in the semifinals, albeit "lesser" competition in the 4A ranks, DJ takes over games in the offensive backfield. As a former Brahma, c/o 2008, pumped for DJ and his family!

I found that interesting too. He had zero interest in OU, and Alabama. He only entertained Baylor very briefly early on. Like you said it was between A&M, Texas, and Michigan.

Bellville America is excited to watch DJ this year and then next year with the Maroon and White.

exactly. If he can commit and go all in with workouts and "buy in" he will be a good one. His explosiveness cant be taught.

We are on our way to being a year in, year out dominating defense. If we can get our offense going - with consistent running game and efficient passing game (so much hinges on Oline) then we will win.

ALOT.
