During the 2024 college football season with Colorado, Sanders put together a strong year. He racked up 67 total tackles to go along with a sack, a forced fumble, and two defended passes.

On a running play by Buffalo, tight end Zach Davidson blocked Sanders downfield past the whistle, well away from where the play ended. Davidson swiped high, getting a hand on Sanders' facemask and touching him around the helmet multiple times.
