FRA's Omarii Sanders injury update from TSSAA football loss vs BGA
Vanderbilt football commit Omarii Sanders left FRA's game against BGA due to a shoulder injury.
Franklin Road Academy's Omarii Sanders suffered a shoulder injury and was forced to leave the Panthers' Week 6 football game against Battle Ground Academy. Sanders exited the field in the third quarter after tackling BGA's Maximus Curry near the goal line, never returning. BGA emerged victorious with a score of 41-36. Sanders remained on the sideline throughout the fourth quarter, periodically receiving ice treatments for his shoulder.
FRA coach Justin Geisinger expressed uncertainty about the severity of the injury, stating that further medical evaluation would provide clarity. Sanders had been performing well before the injury, contributing with three receptions for 31 yards, three tackles, and two pass breakups. The previous season, FRA had triumphed over BGA 21-14 in the regular season before losing 61-27 in the TSSAA Division II state championship.
Sanders is a highly sought-after recruit, currently ranked No. 3 in the state by 247Sports Composite, and committed to Vanderbilt in November. Despite his absence from the recent game, Sanders remains optimistic about his prospects of returning to action in the near future. Harrison Campbell, a high school sports reporter for The Daily Herald and The Tennessean, provided this update.
