As a top-40 offensive tackle in college football last season for the Rice Owls, according to Pro Football Focus, new Texas Longhorns grad transfer Calvin Anderson will instantly step in as the team’s starting left tackle when he arrives in Austin this summers.
Of course, all the typical caveats apply about Anderson having to earn the job once preseason camp begins, but let’s be honest here — outside of an injury, there’s virtually no chance that another option currently on campus out-competes Anderson.
So it’s been no secret around the Forty Acres since the Austin native announced his desire to leave Rice back in January that Anderson was the most important target throughout that stretch and now represents the biggest short-term addition to the program in that time.
