How’d he get to The Blue™?

Doing football-related things well. Mr. Anderson (I am totally saying it like Agent Smith) was a three-star recruit for 247Sports. He was ranked the third-best tight end in Arizona in the 2024 class. His junior year had 321 yards on 32 catches.

Anderson is what we call in the business “smart.” And I do mean that in the academic sense. Our dude had offers from Cornell (ever heard of it?), Dartmouth, Georgetown, Pennsylvania, Yale, and everyone’s favorite Tier 1 research institution: UNR (he had others but this is running long). He especially gets extra IQ points for that last snub.

Career Highlights

Outside of his high school career, nothing on the blue yet. He’s got that growth mindset though!

But he can dunk a basketball, so that’s dope. (See, nickname comes full circle.)

2024 Prospectus

We are all looking forward to the resurgence of the tight end group making a big splash in the offense. And, honestly, if there was/is a time to do it, NOW IS THAT TIME. Getting into a game is going to be hard enough but here is to Anderson really making an impact not only for the tight ends as a group, but the team overall.

Is he on Twitter?

Completely made up fact

Referring to that picture in the tweet above. Mr. Anderson thought he saw something on the wing. Some. Thing.
