Adam Anderson, Outside Linebacker (No. 19):
Class: Senior
Height: 6-5
Weight: 230 pounds
Hometown: Rome, Georgia
High School: Rome High School
Georgia Bulldogs outside linebacker Adam Anderson is expected to be a key player for the Bulldogs this season. He is projected to be Georgia’s top pass rushing threat and has been very effective in the limited snaps throughout his career. Anderson and Nolan Smith will be Georgia’s top two edge rushers when the Dawgs open the season against Clemson.
Anderson came to the University of Georgia as a highly coveted five-star recruit out of Rome High School. Now, he’s a veteran with 38 games of college football experience.
Anderson is very durable and has played in every game during his career in Athens. He has 9.0 sacks and 36 total tackles.
Anderson has excellent speed, but he is still looking to add muscle to his lengthy frame. He racked up 24 total pressures last season and has the potential to be a breakout edge rusher for Dan Lanning and Kirby Smart in 2021. Following the departure of Jermaine Johnson and Azeez Ojulari, Anderson is set to have a larger role this year.
Anderson finished fourth in the SEC with 6.5 sacks in 2020. He is poised to continue that success in 2021. Anderson is considered one of the top outside linebacker prospects for the 2022 NFL draft.
