Any time an offensive tackle stands at 6-foot-6, 257-pounds as a high school sophomore, attention will be drawn by college recruiters.
Throw in raw talent, athleticism and weekly competition against some of the best in Tennessee high school football, and 2022 Franklin High School prospect Fisher Anderson already has a litany of offers from Power 5 programs.
Tennessee is on a continuously growing list, that has recently been stretched to the west coast as Arizona State provided Anderson his first Pac-12 scholarship offer.
Very grateful for the call with @KevinMawae and offer from Arizona State University 🔱😈 #SunDevils pic.twitter.com/EFt1AUG0pN

Anderson announced the offer on his Twitter account, citing a conversation with Arizona State offensive analyst Kevin Mawae. Mawae is an LSU alumnus, a Pro Football Hall of Fame offensive lineman, and a name highly recognized in the Nashville community from his time on the Tennessee Titans from 2006-09.
Anderson plays football and basketball for the Franklin Rebels in Franklin, Tenn., just outside of Music City. The Rebels are in Region 6-6A, going up against the likes of Ravenwood, Brentwood and Independence on a weekly basis. That means consistent reps against highly recruited defensive prospects such as Junior Colson and Reggie Grimes Jr.
Tennessee wide receivers coach Tee Martin is Anderson’s primary recruiter, along with offensive line coach Will Friend. Georgia, Kentucky, Michigan, and Virginia Tech have all offered Anderson, among others. There is still a long way to go in Anderson’s recruitment, but if the Vols want to keep him in state, they will have to compete with a laundry list of Power 5 programs from across the country.
Tennessee does not yet have any prospects committed to the 2022 recruiting class.
