BYU’s new director of player personnel is the outside voice the program has been looking for.
Mostly bare, a few new items strewn about, and not lived in at all, Anderson’s small space in the football building is a testament to the in-flux nature of his life right now. He just sold his house in Virginia on Tuesday. He spent a couple of hours at his new job at BYU on Wednesday, but by Thursday he was back on the road.
He will be the one tasked to reinvent BYU’s recruiting imprint in previously dormant places like Texas, Florida and Ohio. He will also be the one trying to revamp the transfer portal strategy, knowing the churn of the portal is often what breeds success in this era of college football. Anderson can talk all he wants about how he wanted to come back to BYU, but the truth is the Cougars needed his voice just as much as he wanted them.
While BYU is not UVa, the schools can commiserate with the amount of challenges they face. UVa is a public school with out-of-state tuition that operates closer to an Ivy League institution. Its admission standards for athletes are high. And to top it off, Virginia football carried little weight in comparison to league foes like Clemson, Florida State and Miami.
