Career so Far
Anderson took a redshirt season in 2022 and did not play.
This Season
With long-time snapper Kasey Kelleher departed, the position is open for the taking; Anderson looks ready to take it over. Both long snappers on the roster (Ethan Lane being the other) are competing for the job, but Andreson seems to be the leader. With four years of eligibility left, Anderson has the potential to continue the trend of long-time starters at long snapper.
