The former Dover High School standout is shooting 56.4 percent from the field (119-for-211) and has also recorded nine blocked shots. Sanborn also ranks sixth in NAIA Division II in rebounds per game and is tied for eighth nationally with 11 double-doubles so far this season.

For his career, Sanborn has record 585 points and 549 rebounds in 100 games over the past four years as MVNU has posted an 82-37 overall record. Meanwhile, in the classroom, Sanborn carries a 3.62 grade point average as a Business Management and Sports Management double major.

The Academic All-District IV College Division Teams are selected by CoSIDA members. Eligible student-athletes are nominated by their school’s sports information director and must have at least a 3.30 grade point average and be at least in their sophomore year.
