It burned Oakland High School defensive lineman Joseph Anderson that he couldn’t play.
The four-star South Carolina commit started his senior season at a new school with a bang, but a dislocated elbow first limited him and then put him out of commission. And that stung.
“It’s not fun, because you’ve got to look at everybody else have fun and make plays,” Anderson said. “It’s not fun, but you can cheer on your teammates and build them up.”
On Friday night, he still had on his elbow brace, and at points it still hurt.
