No. 3 – Aaron Anderson, Wide Receiver

Aaron Anderson brings speed and agility to the LSU Tigers’ wide receiver and special teams rooms. He is 5-10 and 185 pounds but plays much bigger and stronger on offense and as a kick-returner. Additionally, Anderson excels at breaking tackles in the open field.

Unfortunately, Anderson is still recovering from his knee injury but is on track to return this fall. He brings high-level explosiveness to an offense that ranked 9th in the SEC in yards per attempt.

Anderson is one of Brian Kelly’s latest top-100 recruit from the transfer portal class. He entered the portal after one uneventful season with the Alabama Crimson Tide.

Anderson is a native of New Orleans and committed to Alabama over the LSU Tigers, Arkansas, Florida State, Texas, USC, and others.

He played his high school ball at Edna Karr in New Orleans. There, he eclipsed over 6,000 yards of offense and over 20 return touchdowns in his high school career. At Edna Karr, he also ran track. He broke 11 seconds in the 100-meter dash multiple times in his career and placed sixth in the Louisiana 4A track and field finals.

Coming out of high school, Anderson was ranked the 49th best prospect in the nation and 4th best receiver by 247 Sports. He made his collegiate debut against Austin Peay but suffered a knee injury that sidelined him for the season. In December, Anderson entered his name into the transfer portal.
