Less than a week after falling to the Ole Miss Rebels in the Outback Bowl 26-20 the Indiana Hoosiers pick up a commitment from a player who helped defeat them in Ryder Anderson, a senior defensive end from Katy, Texas. Anderson played in 10 games this season and was second on the Rebels team in tackles for loss with 7.5. He made 43 stops on the year including three tackles, two tackles for loss and a sack in the Outback Bowl against the Hoosiers.
Anderson, who who has played 38 games for the Rebels entered the NCAA Transfer Portal on January 4th, just two days after the Outback Bowl. Tom Allen and company must have liked what they saw. Anderson is listed at 6’6” and 244 pounds and plays defensive end, a position at which the Hoosiers need an upgrade.
In his 38 games at Ole Miss Anderson has made 99 tackles, 15 tackles for loss and seven sacks.
Out of high school, Anderson had been committed to Arkansas before flipping to Ole Miss. He is also the younger brother of Oklahoma running back Rodney Anderson. He had 15 offers as a three-star prospect out of high school.
