Hoschton (Ga.) Mill Creek four-star linebacker Jamal Anderson completed high school with a bang. He won the 7A state championship with Mill Creek nearly two weeks ago.

The four-star linebacker is ready to take the next step.

Anderson has signed his national letter of intent to continue his college football career at Clemson next year. Anderson is the No. 145 overall prospect in the 2023 On300 rankings. The four-star linebacker pledged to Clemson back on June 13.

After his state championship win last week, Anderson had a message for Clemson fans.

“I’m coming, I’m coming hard and we’re going to get it back, best believe that,” Anderson said after the game.

A natural mover with range. Reads routes, diagnoses quickly and makes plays on the ball. Can run with and cover slot wide receivers downfield. A quick processor who sees the game quickly in space. Finished his junior season with 78 tackles, 7 tackles for loss, 4 sacks and 2 interceptions as a junior, facing high-level competition in Georgia. The son of former All-Pro running back Jamal Anderson. Will need to fill out and continue adding mass and strength to better hold up against the run at the next level.
