Five-star prospect David Sanders Jr. and Ohio State offensive line coach Justin Frye leave the field together after the Buckeyes’ 38-15 win over the Indiana Hoosiers in an NCAA football game at Ohio Stadium on Nov. 23, 2024.

A former All-USA TODAY HSSA Offensive Football Team player might be reconsidering his college choice, and its got Tennessee Vols fans very nervous.
