100 Days to Football Time in Oklahoma: #69 Nate Anderson By: Ryan Lewis Posted on: June 27, 2021

The Path to Norman

Nate Anderson, out of the DFW area in Texas, was a slightly under the radar lineman for some time. A tall, but somewhat “lighter,” lineman in high school, Anderson started turning heads in the early spring of 2019. The Sooners went out to see Nate in May; within a week, he was offered while on an unofficial visit and committed right after that.

TFB had high praise for Anderson after his commitment.

Career so Far

Anderson took a redshirt season in 2020.

Highlights

This Season

Four out of five starters return from the 2020 offensive line: the outlier is center. Coach Riley mentioned this spring that Anderson has been working at center, along with Chris Murray, Robert Congel, Ian McIver, and Andrew Raym. That’s a lot of competition for one spot. Nate will have to work for playing time this season, but the offensive line turnover on the two-deep will be high going into 2022. Anderson can keep working this season to position himself well for next year.
