Sanchez made the announcement during the U.S. Army All-American Bowl in San Antonio, saying he will enroll early at Ohio State in January 2025.

Sanchez, listed at 6-foot-2 and 170 pounds, chose the Buckeyes over other finalists Texas A&M, Alabama and LSU.
As a junior last season, he helped lead North Shore High School (15-1) in Houston to the Class 6A Division I state championship game, where the Mustangs lost to Duncanville High. He recorded 32 tackles (11 solo) with 11 passes defended and five interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown.
