How’d he get to The Blue™?
Me from 2024:
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.
Nickname
“CAW”
At least, that’s one way of looking at ‘KA’.

2026 Prospectus
If I keep saying that there will be a resurgence of the dependence on the Tight End position, I’ll eventually be correct. Right? If there was ever a year to have a breakout season as a TE, this kind of seems to be the best time. Matt Wagner appears to be TE1 and will get the most of the targets (Wagner has been making some preseason lists). So outside of Austin Terry, Anderson should see his fair share of time. Maybe mostly as a blocking tackle?
Is he on Twitter?

Completely made up fact
Mr. Anderson enjoys creating glass artwork oftentimes recycling many bottles to make new art. It’s mostly coasters but they do look pretty neat.
