Anderson boasts a 6-foot-4, 320-pound frame and served as the Tigers’ starting left tackle in 2025, but he has played every position on the offensive line, including center.

He does not currently have a prospect rating on any recruiting sites.

BC now has six commits in its 2027 recruiting class, which ranks No. 22 in the nation, per 247 Sports. Anderson is the first offensive-line commit of the group.
