His top ten include: Ole Miss, Miami, Vanderbilt, Rutgers, North Carolina, Mississippi State, Georgia, Louisville, Michigan State and Arkansas.

Sanker, who stands 6-feet-4 and weighs in at 306 pounds, recently visited Oxford and at the moment it seems to have paid off for the Rebels as they remain in the hunt for the South Paulding High product.

Ole Miss offensive line coach Jake Thornton is continuing to build a strong front seven for the Rebels, adding more size and power to the unit.

A Visit with Madden Sanker

The Rebel Walk: What was it that stood out about your recent visit to Oxford and Ole Miss?

Madden Sanker: What stood out about my Ole Miss visit was the family feel; all the coaches looked like they loved the game and their players, and I love that.

RW: What would you say has been the strongest recruiting approach taken by Ole Miss that has helped them continue to be on your radar?

Madden Sanker: The coaches reaching out constantly and always checking up is probably the biggest way they are recruiting me right now.

---

RW: What do you believe is your X-factor skill that a lot of time is overlooked?

Madden Sanker: My best skill would be power and aggressiveness for sure. 

---

RW: What about the Ole Miss offense attracts you most as an offensive lineman?

Madden Sanker: The high-scoring offense attracts the OL. We love having an awesome offense around us.

---

RW: You are on the radar of a number of Power-5 programs. Are there a set of things you look at, and what are they?

Madden Sanker: I just want the best spot for me, a place that feels like home away from home…and I want to win.

RW: What sort of program do you see yourself in in the future?

Madden Sanker: I see myself in a program that will take the nation and surprise a lot of people in the future.

Sanker not only excels on the gridiron, but also on the wrestling mat. There is a lot to be said for an athlete who is also in the middle of a season looking to claim another Georgia 6A championship.

No doubt Sanker at Ole Miss would be a huge win for the Rebels’ offensive line. He will take the next few months to continue to solidify his recruitment and is looking to set his five official visits. If the Rebels play their cards right, they could make the cut!

Hotty Toddy!
