Auston Anderson picks up offer from Northwestern
Published: Wednesday, February 6, 2013 5:29 PM CST
With the 2013 Signing Day class squared away, activity is already heating up for 2014.
The latest to garner interest is Plano West junior running back Auston Anderson, who received his first offer Wednesday when Northwestern came calling.
The interest in Anderson makes sense.
In his second varsity season, the 5-foot-8, 175-pounder was a first team all-district and all-Collin County selection after rushing for 1,156 yards and 13 touchdowns. Anderson, who also runs track, was the lighting part of the Wolves' multi-tiered rushing attack in 2012 as the team advanced to the regional finals for the first time in program history.
West already has one Class of 2014 commit as linebacker Lance Cottrell recently pledged to SMU.
