Keaton Anderson, 2015 linebacker from Florence High School in Ala., has some orange running through his veins. His father, Terry, uncle Charlie, and brother, Carson, all played football for the University of Tennessee. Anderson has an offer from Tennessee, but he doesn't consider himself a lock by any means. He also has an offer from Alabama and will travel to Tuscaloosa this weekend as a guest of the Tide.
"Growing up a Tennessee fan I wasn't really the biggest Alabama fan. I was always a diehard Tennessee fan really because of my brother. I would always have my friends yap at me about it. It was fun growing up. Big rivalries like this are always fun.
"People think Tennessee is my favorite, but honestly it's extremely even. I don't have any favorite teams. I am not favoring Tennessee because my family went there. It is 100-percent even with all the schools who are recruiting me. Anyone who says I have a favorite is incorrect."
"I definitely see a lot of excitement up there," he said. "Everyone has bought in to what Coach Jones is doing. They understand what he is teaching. I have talked to a few players up there. They are really buying in to what he is doing. They are playing hard. They are on the come up of old Tennessee football."
