Anderson is a Mike linebacker out of Kenwood Academy. The Class of 2026 rising star is a true sideline-to-sideline interior backer who plays with a high motor. He measures in at 5’11, 195 lbs and plays with a powerful base that allows him to knock opposing ball carriers backwards at the point of contact. Anderson is as sure-handed a tackler was one will find and can shed blocks in a variety of ways. He is powerful enough to shock offensive linemen, yet athletic enough to stick his foot in the group and slip blocks. As he will patrol the middle of the Bronco’s defense for the next 2 seasons, keep an eye out for Anderson as a rising star in the Land of Lincoln.

Part of the reason I love Kenwood Academy prospects so much is their prowess at the contact point and the explosive thumpers that make up their roster year after year, and continuing the trend into the 2026 class comes linebacker Jayvon Anderson Jayvon Anderson 5'11" | 205 lbs | LB Kenwood | 2026 State IL . I love how he goes full throttle and brings his hips through contact to create some massive collisions from his LB and occasionally DL spots, and his closing speed from the second level of the defense in particular is eye-catching and impressive. Anderson also made an impact offensively and on special teams, and PRzIL can’t wait to watch him lay more wood the next three seasons of Land of Lincoln high school football. I’d recruit Broncos every day of the week if I was a college coach or recruiter.
