Reed Anderson brings scout-team spark and blue-collar linebacker upside to Drake
In the 2026 season, Reed Anderson is a 6-foot-1, 215-pound sophomore linebacker for Drake who has already earned the Bulldogs’ George Sypniewski Scout Team Player of the Year honor, a strong signal that the staff values his effort, preparation, and physical edge. He arrived with a résumé built on production at Ankeny Centennial, where he piled up 155 career tackles, 18.5 tackles for loss, four sacks, and two interceptions, plus first-team all-state recognition in 2025. The fit? High-motor, reliable, and coachable—exactly the kind of tough, downhill LB that usually earns snaps the hard way.
