An 8-man player at Sandhills High School at Dunning, Anderson was an All-American linebacker for the Eagles. He was among Brad Smith’s first recruits, and served notice that he would be a terrific college player when he made tackles “sideline-to-sideline” and earned the Most Valuable Defensive Player Award at the West Nebraska All-Star Game in Scottsbluff in 1987. That was his first 11-man game.
Anderson played just three years at CSC because he missed his junior year in 1989 with a pulled hamstring. Still, he finished his career as the Eagles’ all-time leading tackler with 398 and is still second on the list. He claimed 17 turnovers—nine fumbles and eight interceptions, the most ever for a linebacker—during his career. He was a first-team NAIA Division II All-American as a senior in 1990 and earned Nebraska all-state college honors from the Omaha World-Herald three times. He is the general manager of the Cabela’s distribution center at Prairie du Chien, Wis., supervising approximately 900 employees.
