UK Football Commit Throws Down Thunderous Dunk in Basketball Game

Kentucky football commit Earnest Sanders is one of the most talented players in the Wildcats 2020 football class that will soon join Mark Stoops and staff on campus.

A three-star prospect from Mount Morris, Michigan, Sanders committed to the Wildcats last June.

In addition to being a talented player on the football field, Sanders also shows his athleticism on the basketball court.

In fact, Sanders was a first-team All-State selection as a junior after averaging 17.5 points, 11 rebounds, 4.3 steals, 2.6 assists and 1.6 blocks. Sanders is so talented that Michigan State, one of the schools that he chose Kentucky over, entertained the idea of him playing both sports in college.

Sanders has said he will only play football at Kentucky, as the plan is to hopefully be good enough to play in the NFL some day.

In the video below, you can see the type of athlete Mark Stoops is getting.
