How Terrell Anderson ended up at NC State
After visiting Tennessee and NC State, he narrowed his recruitment down to those two schools and Michigan. He committed to the Wolfpack Aug. 12 during an announcement ceremony at Grimsley High. Georgia made a late push to flip Anderson, and he took an official visit to see the SEC program this fall, but he decided to stick with the Pack.
Why Terrell Anderson picked NC State
“I don’t have family up there, but the players, the relationships that we built, it feels like family,” Anderson said. “Just them having confidence in me and I’m not even there yet, that played a huge role in it.”
Scouting report
“He does a lot of things well,” Grimsley head coach Darryl Brown said. “He’s great with the ball in his hands. We try to get it in his hands with a lot of quick game stuff and some of our fast screen. He has the ability to blow the top off vertically, and he’s gotten better at catching the ball down the field and in traffic. He just provides a lot of different threats.”
“Based off what he showed as a junior, we think Terrell Anderson has a pretty complete game as a receiver,” On3’s director of scouting and rankings Charles Power said earlier this year. “He looks to have good size, good stature, length, and he is a guy who just makes a ton of plays in different ways. I really like the ball-tracking ability. He wins in high point, contested situations, tracks the ball over shoulder.”
