Anderson has been a fast riser in recent months on the recruiting trail. He has committable offers from other SEC powerhouses like Alabama and Georgia. He has size and length which could project at different positions in college.
“For starters, Brandon Anderson is a big body on the interior,” Charles Power said. “He was around around 6-foot-5 and 335 pounds in the off-season and has long arms, big hands, so just from a frame perspective, he has what you want. He lines up at right tackle for North Cobb, I would probably project him on the interior long term, but has put together some strong film early on into his junior season. I think he handles defenders at the point of attack.
“He’s a bull on contact. He just has a bunch of upper body strength where he can kind of sling defenders and kind of manipulate them how he wants as he is at his best in the run game right now. I think an area for him to improve is gonna be just reshaping his body and continuing to work on his athleticism. But I think he’s moving better at as a junior. So I think there’s some signs of improvement there. Brandon Anderson gives Tennessee an SEC body type on the interior and a guy who I would view as a big body and a road grader in the run game.”
What does it mean?
Anderson is the first commitment on the offensive line for the 2026 class to go along with 5-star quarterback Faizon Brandon. Tennessee will once again look to add pieces at tackle but the guard position will be very important in 2026.

Grant Wise are also high on the Vols board and both were in Knoxville for the Alabama game.
What is next?
Tennessee will look to build off the incredible environment from Saturday night as the 2026 class starts for form over the next several days, weeks and months.
