Brian Kelly and the LSU Tigers added Oklahoma Sooners wide receiver Nic Anderson in December after the coveted transfer made the move to Baton Rouge.

Anderson set the Oklahoma freshman record for touchdown receptions with 10 in 2023. His 798 receiving yards that year rank No. 2 in Oklahoma history for a freshman.

In two years with the Sooners, Anderson appeared in 17 games with six starts, all coming as a redshirt freshman in 2023. Anderson missed the entire 2024 season with an injury.

Anderson earned Freshman All-America honors from The Athletic in 2023 and was twice named Big 12 Newcomer of the Week.

He had three 100-yard games with a career-high 120 yards on three receptions against Tulsa. All three of his receptions against Tulsa went for touchdowns.

Now, he's made the move to Louisiana as one of three transfer wide receivers joining the LSU program this offseason via the NCAA Transfer Portal.

But Anderson's status has remained in question after the Oklahoma transfer was involved in a car accident in July.

On Wednesday, the LSU Tigers opened Fall Camp in Baton Rouge with Anderson limited, but head coach Brian Kelly detailed that Anderson will be back to full speed soon.

“We kept him out of contact today,” Kelly said in a press conference. “He had gone through our concussion protocol. He had gotten into a little fender bender and so, we wanted to make sure.

"He’s cleared out concussion protocol and today was his day of non-contact. He’ll be able to get into 11-on-11, 7-on-7 [on Thursday].”

The talented SEC transfer will play a pivotal role for the LSU Tigers this fall with all eyes on the program in Baton Rouge this upcoming season.
