Daniel Anderson brings Big Ten-ready power with upside as a physical, versatile back
In the 2025 season, Daniel Anderson saw limited action for Northwestern, logging 2 carries for 9 yards in his first career game and finishing with 9 rushing yards on the year. Northwestern’s staff has described him as a big, strong, physical runner with the athleticism to punish tacklers and add versatility, which makes him more interesting than the box score suggests. He entered college as an early enrollee after a productive high school career and profiles as a downhill back who could fit a team wanting toughness, contact balance, and hidden upside.
