Anthony plays with a voltage that few can match. He’s electric with the ball in his hands, twitchy, dynamic, and fiercely aggressive. Whether he’s breaking tackles, bouncing off contact, or turning upfield with explosive bursts, his play style is all gas and no brakes. On offense, he’s a crafty weapon who can line up anywhere, see the whole field, and make defenders disappear. On defense, he’s a calculating menace as an instinctual safety who baits quarterbacks into throwing the ball his way and then turns into a nightmare for anyone chasing him back down. His blend of speed, strength, football IQ, and physicality makes him a true two-way threat, and his natural edge separates him from players who just want to make the play, Anthony wants to change the game.

With 51 carries for 331 yards, 22 receptions for 440 yards, and 1005 all-purpose yards, Anthony’s impact is undeniable. He’s also pulled in five interceptions—including a pick six—and tallied 19 tackles on the other side of the ball. His biggest improvement this past season has been embracing the mental side of the game, preparing not just his body but his mind to compete at the highest level. This offseason, he’s focused on getting stronger and expanding his physical presence, especially at the point of contact. His motivation is the people around him who believe in his talent and push him to be his best. Coaches can expect a player who shows up, plays hard, and leaves it all on the field every rep, every play, every snap. He’s physical, unselfish, and wired to win.

Off the field, Anthony finds peace in the game itself and strength in faith. He’s fueled by those matchups where he knows the guy across from him doesn’t want it as bad as he does. That fire coupled with his love for the game, his refusal to back down, and the thrill of dominating his matchup is what keeps him locked in and dangerous. When facing adversity , he stays grounded. No excuses, no panic. Just strap up and play the game. The best advice he’s ever taken to heart, "Never quit". That mindset lives in him. No matter how tough it gets, he’s never walking away.

Anthony sees himself playing D1 football. That’s always been the bar. But what truly matters to him is playing the game, any level is a blessing. He knows there are dogs at every level and believes that regardless of where you start, the real ones will rise. He understands it’s going to take consistent effort, attention to detail, and discipline to get there. For a school to stand out, it has to feel like family. He wants a coaching staff that believes in him and tells him the truth, even when it’s hard to hear. He’s still in the process of earning offers but believes deeply that with hard work, faith, and the right opportunity, everything will fall into place.

I assess that Anthony is a tough, smart, and versatile football player with a rare ability to flip the switch and control the pace of the game. His physical edge sets him apart from others at his position, and his ability to play fast while reading defenses and anticipating plays makes him a real impact on both sides of the ball. His drive, mindset, and self-awareness give him tools that can’t be taught. With no ego, a team-first attitude, and non-stop effort, he’s the kind of guy every locker room needs.

Anthony’s vision, twitch, and change of direction give him big-play ability on offense, especially in space or when reading blitzes. Defensively, his instincts, bait-and-jump ability, and ball skills create game-changing plays. He handles adversity like a seasoned vet and shows the poise and effort that college coaches dream of. If he continues to grow physically and stays mentally dialed in, his potential to impact a college program especially at the D1 or high D2 level is incredibly strong. Expect him to be a name that continues to rise. Stay tuned!
