2. Nic Anderson, WR
Nic Anderson has arrived.
There’s no better way to introduce yourself as a Power Five player than to score three times on three touches. That’s what Nic Anderson, a Sooner legacy, did on Saturday.
His brother Rodney was in the stands, screaming and clapping for his little brother as he dazzled us all with three catches for 120 yards and three touchdowns.
The catches looked smooth, and the run after the catch seemed eerily similar to seeing his older brother run the ball with tremendous contact balance.
He has officially submitted his application for meaningful snaps in the Big 12 portion of this schedule. It would be criminal for him not to see snaps going forward.
He’s a huge target, with great long speed and reliable hands. He presents an entirely different challenge for defensive backs, and putting him on the field with the other starters could create severe mismatches.
