Aaron Anderson

As a College Recruit

Compactly-built slot receiver with dynamic open field ability and refined receiver skills. Perhaps the most dangerous return man in the 2022 cycle. One of the shorter top receiver prospects nationally at a shade under 5-foot-9 but has a powerful, bulked build at that height. Registers as a top, complete athlete with top end speed and change of direction marks. Posted multiple sub 11.0 second times in the 100 meters as a junior and a stellar 3-cone drill in the combine setting. Transfers that athleticism over to the field as a big-play threat with the ball in his hands. Has strong initial burst off the line with the ability to separate within a few steps. One of the top yards after catch receivers in the cycle with high-end agility and contact balance paired with the top end speed. Open field skills show up on special teams where he has scored the most return touchdowns among top receivers in the cycle. Has true wideout skills as a natural hands catcher with the ability to track over his shoulder on vertical routes. Likely projects in the slot at the next level due to his size and skill set, but is versatile enough to serve a number of roles.
