08/15/22 - OLB Vince Sanford, rSr/2023, Air Force

If Vince Sanford had been told in high school that he would be showered with accolades entering his final season as a college football player, maybe the biggest surprise would have been the position he'd be playing to attract the praise. "I would have guessed receiver, safety," the Air Force senior said. "Something like that." New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Dai'Jean Dixon recaps his performance against the Houston Texans in their preseason opener. "Probably not," he conceded. Sanford registered 9.5 sacks in a breakout junior season, throwing opposing quarterbacks for a loss of 91 yards - second only in Falcons history to Chad Hennings' 182 yards during his Outland Trophy winning season in 1987. Sanford made 17 total tackles for loss, accounting for 118 yards - second most in the Mountain West.

As a result, Sanford enters 2022 as a preseason All-Mountain West selection and on watch-lists for the Chuck Bednarik Award and Bronko Nagurski Trophy, both of which honor the top defensive player in the nation. So how did this 6-foot-1, 225-pound former basketball player who shattered every key receiving record at his Ohio high school and entered the Air Force prep school as a safety become a disruptive force at and behind the line of scrimmage? It started with a hunch from an assistant coach. "I really credit Alex Means for just the way he took off last year," coach Troy Calhoun said. "Alex just kept saying as a pass rusher you have a knack for being able to move your hips. Even though you may feel like your torso is in place, you've got to get your hips moving a little bit in front of the rest of your body." - Colorado Springs Gazette
