Aaron Anderson

A dynamic slot receiver with legit foot speed that’s a big play waiting to happen. Cut his teeth at the New Orleans heavyweight that is Edna Karr finishing his prep career off with over 6,000 yards of total offense to his credit and 20 return touchdowns. Made a splash as a senior when he housed three kickoffs against rival John Curtis in a game that was televised by ESPN2. Under 5-foot-10, but at times plays bigger than his size would suggest. Muscular build allows him to power his way through most would-be tacklers in the open field, at least on Friday nights. Quick feet might be the best aspect of his game at this stage as he can shake and lose defensive backs with sharp cuts. Will need to keep progressing as a route runner, but already seems to have mastered how to sell a double-move. Should provide immediate special teams value for a College Football Contender given how elusive he is with the ball in his hands. Seems destined to eventually emerge as an impact inside receiver on Saturdays. Ability to create in space on jet sweeps/quick screens could help him avoid a redshirt. Track times (10.77 in the 100-meter dash) will have him on the radar of NFL scouts one day.
