Interview with DeWitt 2013 P Ryan Anderson who committed to Saginaw Valley State

It's been a pretty exciting period for the Saginaw Valley State recruiting the past 1-2 weeks, with big commits coming in from all over the state. One area the Cardinals added valuable talent and depth was at receiver, the Cardinals already had commitments from Leonte Degraffenreid of Edsel Ford and Chaz Miller of Lake Orion. But right after Miller committed, DeWitt's big time playmaker, Ryan Anderson also committed. Tight End commit, Will Farr was really excited that his Lansing area friend committed too. Farr sent out a series of tweets talking about his excitement, "Soo happy @Ryann_Anderson committed to SVSU!!! #SVSU #roomies." Farr wasn't the only SVSU commit who was excited to see Anderson commit. With Twitter and Facebook, it has allowed players from different regions to communicate and build team chemistry.

Position (s): WR/P

Height & Weight: 6'3" 180

First Game Started: At Eastern (First game of my Junior Year)

#1 Most Memorable Game: The District Finals this year at Linden. We were down late in the game and we came back from behind to tie the game up and go into overtime. We ended up winning in the 6th overtime which is the longest in MHSAA Playoff history.

Pre-game Traditions: Go to Subway and then chill with the team at the school waiting for our meetings to begin.

Post-game Traditions: Watch 5th quarter with some of the team.

Athlete you try building your game around: I try to build my game around Calvin Johnson because he is hands down the best receiver in the NFL. His athleticism and strength is unreal. The way he high points the ball and runs his routes really gives young receivers something to try and mold their game around.
