Comments:

“Anderson is an exceptional athlete that really stands out in the secondary and special teams. He has good size and is a big play maker versus both the run and the pass. Attacks instantly on run support and isn’t afraid to lay the wood to the ball carrier.” – ESPN

“A small, well-put-together safety that has long arms with plenty of room to add weight. He also has the ideal build for a tall, athletic corner and looks a lot like Ohio State freshman Dominic Clarke.” – Rivals.com

“His ability to cover a lot of ground once the ball is in the air is outstanding. Anderson can be an instant offensive threat because of his breakaway speed and ball skills.” – Rivals.com

“Could make an early impact as a return man either on punts or kick returns. Because of his athleticism and ball skills, he may see early time in nickel and dime coverage situations.” – Rivals.com

“Anderson is an outstanding athlete that plays with great aggression. He is outstanding in coverage and is very solid in run support. Anderson has very good ball skills and excellent closing speed.” – Scout.com

Expect good things from this guy…
