“Xae” has seen his recruiting pick up this offseason. He added a Mercer offer to an already list of D1 programs that have shown interest to this 6’1 215 LB this recruiting cycle. App State, Western Kentucky and Colorado State are among the 2 handfuls of programs that have extended an offer. According to his “X” account, he has locked in an official visit to Jacksonville State early in the Summer.

A physical ILB with great patience and athleticism. Has outstanding first step explosion and fights his way through blockers to get to the ball carrier. A nose for the football that recognizes and attacks with passion. PRZ has him ranked as the #21 LB overall in the ’26 and this may prove to be a low ranking after the ’25 season is done. Stock Riser.

An impressive West Georgia linebacker who continues to see new offers come his way, Anderson is a sure-tackling defender with strong instincts both against the pass and when defending the run. He plays the position correctly and consistently finds his way to the ball-carrier. He plays hard and knows how to deliver a sound, physical tackle. So far this month he’s added offers from Western Kentucky, App State, Jax State, Samford, and Tennessee Tech. He’s one of the top returning linebackers in the region, and if he continues to improve over the next six months, this impressive defender should light up the state sheet as a senior this fall.
