Anderson to return for extra season with Hilltoppers

Josh Anderson will be back in a Western Kentucky uniform this winter.

The 6-foot-6, 190-pound forward from Baton Rouge, La., recently finished his senior season, but WKU announced Thursday in a post on social media he would take advantage of the NCAA's blanket waiver for an additional year of eligibility granted during the COVID-19 pandemic and return for another year with the Hilltoppers.

"First off, I would really like to thank my family and fans in Hilltopper Nation for the love and support over the years," Anderson said in a news release. "I would also like to thank every last one of my coaches, staff and teammates from the past years for everything we worked through.
