Aaron Anderson can now focus on becoming the best student and football player at the University of Alabama.

As a five-star wide receiver from New Orleans, La., Anderson recently graduated from Edna Karr High School.

The 5-foot-9, 184-pounder put on a show for fans every Friday night. His elite speed, explosive playmaking skills, and ability to elude defenders made him a joy to watch. Anderson chose the Crimson Tide in the 2022 signing class and made an impact in spring practice. He caught Nick Saban’s attention on special teams and might be one of the return specialists on kickoffs.

It will be interesting to see if he cracks the starting rotation at receiver, but Anderson should get playing time.

He is an electrifying talent that Saban and Bill O’Brien have to find ways to use.
