Josh Anderson is Dayton’s tone-setting CB with ball-hawking upside
In the 2024 season, Dayton listed Josh Anderson as a 6-foot, 193-pound redshirt sophomore cornerback, and he flashed real playmaking juice with 17 tackles, 2 tackles for loss, and 2 interceptions on the year.[1][2] The big separator: he’s not just a cover guy — Dayton’s own award vote named him a co-winner of the program’s Mental Toughness Award after the 2024 season, which says a lot about his competitiveness, reliability, and edge.[2] He also showed scoring ability with a pick-six in 2023, so if you want a corner who can contest throws and punish mistakes, he’s a very intriguing fit.[3]
