Anderson is ranked as the No. 355 player in the country, along with being No. 29 of all interior linemen and No. 45 in Georgia. Anderson held offers from Georgia, Maryland, Alabama, Auburn, Kentucky and others.

He's had an interesting recruitment process so far, starting off as a Tennessee commit. He backed out of that decision on January 27, 2025, and between then and now, the Volunteers were the perceived favorites.

That remained the case headed into his commitment date until he pushed his commitment time back to 7:30 on Sunday. It seems as if the addition of Edward Baker, a three-star lineman, impacted his decision to head to Tennessee. He would have joined five-star offensive tackle Gabriel Osenda, as well.
