Anderson's Road to Recovery: St. John's Prep OL Returns from ACL Injury
St. John's Prep Eagles senior DeShawn Anderson, a Class of 2025 Division I offensive lineman, is expected to enter the 2026 season as a starting left tackle after overcoming a season-ending ACL injury in 2024. Anderson's return to the field has been marked by a strong showing in the Eagles' summer camp, where he has consistently blocked defenders with ease, allowing his quarterback to complete 85% of his passes in drills. As Anderson continues to regain his strength and agility, scouts are taking notice of his ability to anchor the Eagles' line and create holes for their running backs. At 6-foot-5 and 275 pounds, Anderson's size and athleticism make him a top prospect in the MIAA and a potential Division I recruit. Scouts will be watching to see how Anderson adapts to game speed and how he handles the physical demands of a full season.
