Head Coach Jack Leggett on Sanders: "Matt is a junior-college transfer and infielder who plays third base, shortstop, and second base. He has some versatility and is very athletic. I look for him to give us some good innings from all three positions, but at the same time provide some hitting as a righthanded hitter. He works hard and is very unselfish."
