Anderson is a consensus Top 100 recruit in the Class of 2026, 247 Sports ranks him as No. 102, while Rivals has him as No. 138.
In a previous interview with Rivals.com, Anderson was asked what he’s going to be looking for in a school.
“I think it’s just the environment of the school,” Anderson told Greg Smith from Rivals.com. “It needs to be welcoming. I really have to like the position coach. That’s probably my number one thing. My relationship with the position coach. The traditions and the fan base, that’s a little bit in there too. My big number one is my relationship with the position coach.”
Penn State has two commitments for their Class of 2026 and they’re big ones- 4-star running back Messiah Mickens from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and 4-star quarterback Troy Huhn from San Marcos, California.
