Gio Vonne Sanders entered the transfer portal looking for an opportunity with another Division I program.

The former St. Francis (Pa.) standout defensive back out of Jeannette has a few bites on the line.

Northeast Conference teams Duquesne and Sacred Heart, who know Sanders well, have offered scholarships.

He recently added two additional FCS offers, from Robert Morris and North Alabama.

Sanders, a team captain when he played in Loretto, had 106 tackles, 5.5 for loss, 14 pass breakups and four interceptions in two years for the Red Flash.

He has two years of eligibility remaining.
