Rodney Anderson <\/b>is a redshirt junior out of Katy, TX. He was a consensus four-star recruit out of high school, where he averaged 9.1 yards per carry his senior year. Anderson played just two games during his freshman year at Oklahoma before suffering a season-ending leg injury. He came into his sophomore year with the hopes of gaining the starting role but missed the entire season due to an injury sustained during camp.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anderson really took flight in 2017 when he was finally able to put together a large number of games played. He played in every one of the Sooners games where he started seven of them. He rushed 188 times for 1,161 yards and a whopping 13 touchdowns. He also had 17 grabs for 281 yards and five touchdowns through the air. Anderson was named All-Big 12 Second Team and All-Big 12 Honorable Mention for Offensive Newcomer of the Year by league\u2019s coaches. <\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, he wasn\u2019t able to duplicate his prior year’s success. Anderson suffered a torn ACL on the final play of the first quarter in the Sooners second game. What was expected to be a promising final year for Anderson was all but that as he was forced to miss the entire season. The good news for him, this running back class is not as deep as to prior years.<\/span><\/p>\n
