Ayden Anderson '21 Recruiting Profile

In college, I want to get a great education to blueprint life after sports. In football, I want to be able compete at a high level where I get playing time and play for a team that welcomes me. I would like to continue my family football success (Great grandpa, Bob Nowaskey; Bears, Dons, Colts), (Grandpa, Don Anderson; Northwestern), (Uncle, Erick Anderson; Michigan, Chiefs, Redskins, Butkus award winner 1991), (Uncle, Kurt Anderson; Michigan, current O-line coach for Northwestern), (Dad, Lars Anderson; Indiana University). I am a good candidate for college sports teams because I put in hours of work by myself daily. I live by the motto "Live clean, train hard." This means that when I am given choices, I acknowledge what each decision would do to my future on the field and in life. I look to solve problems that might not impact myself as much because the prosperity of people around me, such as teammates, classmates, and friends is just as important.
