MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Middle Tennessee freshman running back Brad Anderson was given a very fitting nickname when he played football at Bob Jones High School in Madison, Alabama: the "Little General."
The 18-year-old stands at 5-foot-8 with cleats on, and when fully padded he may reach his listed weight of 170 pounds, so it's easy to see where the "Little" comes from.
The "General" comes in when Anderson hits the football field. He's a natural leader on the gridiron, and commands attention from every player when he has the ball in his hands because his quickness and vision make him a constant big-play threat.
