Marcus Anderson Commits to SMU for 2025-2026 Season
Traverse City Central Trojans lineman Marcus Anderson has committed to play for the Southern Methodist University Mustangs in the 2025-2026 season. Anderson, a 6-foot-4, 275-pound Class of 2025 offensive lineman, chose SMU due to the program's emphasis on developing linemen within its triple-option scheme. He believes his skills and experience will translate well to the Mustangs' offense, allowing him to contribute immediately. Anderson also cited SMU's strong academic reputation and commitment to student-athlete success as a major factor in his decision. He previously held offers from the University of Michigan and Michigan State University, but ultimately chose SMU for its best fit athletically and academically. The Trojans' standout lineman will join the Mustangs' program in the fall of 2025, bringing his skills and experience to the Division I level.
