I have just learned that University of Alabama WR Aaron Anderson has entered the NCAA transfer portal.

This comes as a bit of a surprise as it was expected that Anderson figured to be a prominent figure in the Crimson Tide’s offense going forward. He showed a lot of promise during spring and fall practices leading into the 2022 season before he was ultimately sidelined by an injury which limited his playing time. As for the schools I personally think have a good chance to land his services, I think:
• LSU - is the presumptive favorite going in to land ‘Deuce’s services. It is right up the road from his hometown of New Orleans and has always been his ‘dream school.’ The only reason he decommited from LSU in the first place was because of Ed Orgeron’s firing back during the course of the 2021 season.
• Florida State - the Seminoles had a ‘bounce back’ year and figure to be in the mix nationally. Adding a playmaker like Anderson will only help FSU. Add in the fact that former HS teammate Jamie Vance just earned all-conference honors in the ACC, fellow former Karr WR Destyn ‘Fatt’ Hill is expected to enroll in May (according to ON3’s Sam Speigleman) and the recruiting coordinator is fellow New Orleans native Dave Johnson (who loves to recruit Louisiana talent), and I would think the Noles have a good chance.
• Southern California - USC did offer Anderson coming out of HS. Catching passes from a returning Heisman Trophy winning QB in a pass happy offense that likes to get speedy receivers the ball in space doesn’t seem all that bad either.
• Colorado - with Deion Sanders shifting from Jackson State to Colorado and the transfer portal being on fire and him claiming that he wants ‘dawgs’, Anderson definitely fits that mold. Coach Prime has made it clear that he wants to revamp the entire roster and what better way than to add a former 5-star recruit into the fold via the transfer portal.
It will be interesting to see where the former Edna Karr prospect lands next. Stay tuned to SportsTalkQue for the latest on this developing story.
