Touted RB AJ Sanders decommits from Cal

Touted 2027 running back AJ Sanders has backed off his longtime commitment to Cal, he tells Rivals.

Sanders is the No. 96-ranked running back in the country from Houston (Texas) C.E. King High School. He is the No. 152 overall prospect from the Lone Star State in this recruiting cycle.

Sanders committed to the Golden Bears in the spring — over the likes of Houston, Texas A&M, Florida and Mizzou, among others.

Cal entered the day with 23 commitments and the No. 26 recruiting class in the country for 2027.
