Stanford, Oklahoma State are Barry J. Sanders' top choices — in that order, his coach says

Stanford and Oklahoma State have emerged as Barry J. Sanders' top two college choices — and in that order, Heritage Hall coach Andy Bogert told The Oklahoman.

Sanders, the nation's eighth-ranked running back prospect according to Rivals, has said for months that he's narrowed his choice to Alabama, Florida State, Stanford and OSU.

But Bogert said Stanford is the slight favorite, with OSU close behind.

Academic qualifications at Stanford are unlike those at almost any other Division I program, so Sanders is still working to complete all of the required classes, Bogert said.
