Rivals' Industry Rankings lists him as the top defensive lineman in the 2026 class, No. 2 out of Louisiana and No. 24 overall. At six-foot-three and 350 pounds, he could make an immediate impact as an early enrollee in the spring.
LSU built the 2026 class on homegrown talent. Anderson is one of 10 commits from Louisiana in a group of 15 players. The class currently ranks No. 11 overall and No. 6 in the SEC.
