You know how your dog always expects dinner at 4pm, even though you always feed them at 5? That’s how I feel about football season.

Anyways, we can suffer it out together. Today we got Mr. 38:

#38, Travis Anderson, RS Sophomore, S

Stats

Height: 5’11

Weight: 190

High school: Mission Viejo HS (Mission Viejo, CA)

How’d he get to The Blue™?

Travis was another one of the guys that came with a curious amount of Ivy League offers, with Fresno State and UNLV also throwing their hats in the ring. He made those schools wait for months while he thought about those offers, but committed just 8 days after the Boise State offer. How about that?

Nickname

“Tadman”

Lately I’ve been playing the new college football game with a mod that starts you in the 2007 season, and it’s amazing the names I forgot about. But one name I never forgot is legendary Bronco safety Marty Tadman.

Had to go with Hoppers star Dave Franco here.

Career Highlights

He made appearances in all 14 games a year ago, tallying 6 tackles (2 solo).

2026 Prospectus

Honestly I was impressed with the snaps we saw from Travis last year. It’s an admittedly small sample size, but he lead a secondary group that really looked like the future, not just the backups. That’s a very vibes-based analysis from a normally analytical guy, but a Travis Anderson secondary just feels inevitable.

Is he on Twitter?

No 2026 tweets, but @TravisA949 is the handle all the same.

NIL Exchange:

Link here if you’d like to hire him as a partner for pickleball duos.

Completely made up fact

When people see that Travis is a “Pre Criminal Justice” major, they assume it’s a kind of pre-law degree. However, the word “pre” here refers to what happens before the justice, which is to say that Travis hopes to someday be an elite, college-educated criminal.
