Jared Thomas is “certain” Kurt Anderson will have a major impact

If you had any concerns that Kurt Anderson’s recruiting success wouldn’t translate to the football field, Jared Thomas wants you to quell them. The veteran offensive lineman believes that Anderson has already displayed his value in practices.

“He has all the knowledge in the world,” Thomas said. “He was a former player, someone that has done it all. He knows what he’s doing out there, and he has showed us so much already.”

After being promoted to lead the offensive line after Adam Cushing left to become head coach at Eastern Illinois, the new man in charge quickly landed three linemen on the recruiting trail, including four-star Peter Skoronski who had offers from Michigan, Notre Dame and Penn State, among others.
