Anthony brings a dynamic burst off the line, a fierce motor that keeps him active from snap to whistle, and a versatile style that lets him impact plays in multiple ways. As a defensive end, he uses timing, strength, and instinct to work through blocks, chase down plays, and create pressure that disrupts an offense’s rhythm. What separates Anthony from others at his position is his maturity and commitment to the craft. He stays after practice, asks coaches for corrections mid-game, and treats every snap like an opportunity to shift momentum. A coach can expect someone who plays hard, processes quickly, and shows up ready to work without excuses or distractions.

Anthony’s production shows steady, real growth. Last season, he finished with 30 tackles, 10 sacks, 5 TFLs, and even a reception. This season, he has already added 21 tackles, 7 sacks, 4 TFLs, 4 quarterback pressures, 1 forced fumble, 1 fumble recovery, and 2 kickoff recoveries. His biggest improvement comes from winning his one-on-ones more consistently by fixing his timing and building the strength needed to hold his ground. His offseason focus stays locked in on getting better in every aspect, especially the details that turn effort into execution. What drives him most is the feeling that he could have done more to help his team last year, and that fuels every step he takes. Before the snap, he studies quarterback shoulders, tight end alignment, the running back position, and anything that gives him an advantage. He handles adversity with a clear mind, treating every quarter like a fresh start and trusting the next play more than the last. His motivation comes from his family, his teammates, and the future he wants to build through football.

Anthony sees himself playing D1 but is willing to go JUCO if that’s the path needed to reach the highest level. He wants a school with an electric fan base and a coaching staff that pushes him while believing in his growth. He already holds interest from McPherson College, Drake University, IMG Academy, and Bishop Gorman, and he is still early in his development. A coach can expect someone who works, listens, competes, and gives consistent effort every time he steps on the field.

I assess that Anthony brings steady disruption and dependable energy that can strengthen a college defensive front. His attention to detail, willingness to learn, and ability to stay composed in competitive moments make him someone who can grow into a reliable piece of a defensive system.

As he continues to develop physically and evolve his technique, Anthony’s impact will rise. Expect him to progress into a stronger, more consistent defender with the potential to become a dependable playmaker. His drive, discipline, and hunger give him long-term upside that programs can build on.
