Baltimore native Trey Sanders teams with Noah Cain to make up scary-good backfield at IMG Academy.
Video: Nation's top two backs in same IMG Academy backfield Trey Sanders is the No. 1 rated running back in Class of 2019 and No. 7 recruit overall.
Now that he is, he told
247Sports his list of inspirations were quite diverse, from the shifty, speedy moves of
Tavon Austin, to the powerful styles of
Derrick Henry and
Najee Harris.
The 5-foot-11, 217-pound Sanders is not only the top-ranked running back in the country and No. 7 recruit overall, but he also makes up the most dynamic backfield in the land.
Watch the video above to see Sanders and
Noah Cain, the nation's No. 2 rated back from the Class of 2019, running past, and through, defenders last season at IMG.
"Growing up I wanted to be the No. 1 running back, be the top player in the country," Sanders told 247Sports.
Said Sanders' brother Umstead: "We grew up watching other No. 1 running backs. We watched them growing up saying it's cool to see these people are No. 1 never really thinking and then out of nowhere he blew up and became No. 1 so quick."
