DeShawn Anderson: Catholic Memorial LB Seeks Redemption After ACL Injury
Catholic Memorial's DeShawn Anderson was a dominant force on the field in 2024, finishing with 125 tackles, including 25 for loss. The senior linebacker's impressive season was cut short when he suffered a season-ending ACL injury in the Eagles' fifth game. Now, as the 2026 class prepares for its first season as Division I, Anderson is focused on regaining his form and earning a starting role. In the offseason, Anderson has been diligent about his rehabilitation, putting in extra time in the weight room and on the practice field. 'I'm feeling good, I'm feeling strong,' Anderson said. 'I'm just taking it one day at a time and working towards getting back to where I was.' With his athleticism and instincts, Anderson is a player scouts will be watching closely this season. They're looking for him to regain his tackling prowess and provide leadership on the Eagles' defense.
