Bennie Anderson is Yale’s veteran, physical tone-setter at guard
In the 2024 season, Bennie Anderson was a steady interior anchor for Yale, starting at left guard in the opener and helping a run game that averaged 164.5 yards per game, third in the Ivy League[1][2]. He’s a classic nasty-glove guy: Yale’s staff described him as “an absolute mauler in the run game” who finishes blocks with real physicality[3]. Add in the academic/leadership edge — he was a Campbell Trophy semifinalist — and you get a dependable, high-IQ lineman who fits best with a team that wants toughness, consistency, and a culture-builder in the trenches[2][3].
