Three-star defensive back Nolan Anderson shines during a recent football camp in Wisconsin
During the recent camp in University of Wisconsin-River FallsWisconsin football coaches were present at “Mega Camp.” Among the camp participants was a three-star athlete born in 2025 Nolan Anderson, who got the chance to showcase his newfound skills as a defensive back. Anderson is coming off the first season of his career playing as a safety and nickel defender for his team.
Anderson stated that “It was a decision I made because I have all the tools to be a successful defensive back,” when asked about the position change. The defender had the full support of his coaches and feels he has a lot of potential to grow into this position.
Anderson currently has six scholarship offers, and will receive the sixth immediately after the recent “Mega Camp” in which the defender appeared. The athlete believes his continued development at the position and the repetition he receives at camps could result in more offers this summer.
Nolan Anderson: “I feel like I have a very high ceiling”
For the defender, the transition to a modern position was natural due to his size and tools on the pitch. When asked about collegiate recruiting and potential in his modern position, Anderson responded:
“I think I started quite well, last season was my first year playing [Defensive Back] so I feel like I have a very high ceiling in the safety and nickel positions, so I’m very excited to continue working and see what other schools have to offer this summer.” – Nolan Anderson on his potential and experience in college recruiting.
Anderson also feels that the position change has opened up a whole modern world for him as a player due to the change in potential. The player feels more comfortable playing safely even with confined experience in that position and performs well on the pitch while still learning his position. Anderson also stated that with more “game reps” and “individual work,” he could quickly achieve success in the position.
For Anderson, the best and biggest offers are yet to come
Anderson is still a stealth recruit who has yet to receive much attention from colleges. Anderson, however, has all the tools to succeed in his modern position and believes the best is yet to come when it comes to scholarship offers. Two of the first schools to offer Anderson were Army AND Air forcestwo notable service academies with potentially lofty off-field responsibilities.
When asked about the importance of these offers, Anderson stated, “I feel extremely honored to have both of these amazing opportunities available to me.” While attending a service academy would be honorable, Anderson’s real end goal is character Big Ten Conference offers. Anderson may not have a “dream school” offer to look forward to, but as a longtime fan of the conference, he hopes to be apart of it one day.
Nolan Anderson also stated, “I don’t necessarily have a specific school in mind, but the opportunity to play in the Big Ten in the Midwest would be a dream come true.” The Wisconsin football staff retained approx close your eye most recently on Anderson and could become one of those teams to play in the future.
