FRISCO, Texas — ESPN rates Frisco, Texas offensive lineman Jack Anderson the No. 1 center and the nation's No. 28 overall prospect in the 2017 class.
Frisco Coach Vance Gibson said Anderson is driven.
“I think his goal is to be the best offensive lineman in the country and he approaches practice that way and he prepares that way and I think that’s what makes him a really unique player.” Gibson said.
Anderson, 6-4, 291 pounds had 44 scholarship offers before narrowing down to 12 schools, including Arkansas, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, Auburn, Florida, SMU and Oklahoma recently. Junior highlights CLICK HERE
“He has a little bit of nasty in him,” Gibson said. “That’s what you want…He’s developed the mentally that he wants to dominate people. He wants to finish plays.”
Anderson, who may narrow his list of schools to five or six in the offseason, isn’t turned off by Arkansas’ 1-3 record.
“Not too much, I don’t worry about it too much, wins and losses because wins and losses are small in the big picture for now,” Anderson said. “I think what’s more important is academics and how I feel and where I can see myself playing. The wins and losses will come.”
He has added about 15 pounds since his sophomore season. He spoke about what makes him the highly recruited prospect.
“Just coming out here and trying to get better everyday and being mean,” he said. “I think that’s the best thing for me is finishing. That’s what coaches love to see I think that what makes me the player I am.”
