Tennessee staff impresses Max Anderson after Rocky Top official
Frisco (Texas) offensive lineman Max Anderson had not been to Tennessee in almost a year before making his way in for this weekend’s official visit. On3’s 185th overall prospect just checked out of the multi-day trip, and he caught up with Volquest to detail his time on Rocky Top.
“I think Tennessee is the best recruiters in the business,” Anderson said. “I really connected with the coaches, coaches family, players and other commits. All really great loving people.”
The official visit weekend allowed Anderson to get a more in-depth look at Tennessee’s program, which was important to him coming into the trip, especially spending time with Josh Heupel.
“Really cool dude,” Anderson said. “I could just sit there and talk with him for two hours straight. He treats me like a really good friend and I could tell he is a smart man of the football game.”
Anderson also got to see his relationship with Tennessee offensive line coach Glen Elarbee grow throughout the weekend as well.
“Same personality as my high school coach and I love my high school coach,” Anderson said. “We connected right off the bat when he called me. I knew I would get along with him.”
Anderson is currently rated as the nation’s 185th overall prospect and ninth-best interior offensive lineman, according to the On3 rankings. The On3 Industry rankings have Anderson rated as the 189th overall prospect and 11th best offensive lineman. He is working to improve his game but says Tennessee likes what he brings to the table.
“(Elarbee) says I extend my hips naturally,” Anderson said. “Which is good for the torque and the pancaking. He says I have good feet and I could play all positions if I need to.”
