(INDIANA RELEASE)
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The Indiana football program announced on Tuesday that defensive lineman Ryder Anderson will join the Hoosiers as a transfer from Ole Miss. The 6-6, 275-pounder played in 37 games (14 starts) for the Rebels from 2017-20.
"Ryder has proven to be an excellent football player in the SEC," IU head coach Tom Allen said. "He is long, athletic and plays extremely hard. Ryder brings a high level of leadership to our defensive line room and his addition makes us a better football team."
Anderson has collected 99 tackles, 38 solo, 6.5 sacks, 15 stops for loss, 17 quarterback hurries, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, one pass breakup and one blocked punt in his career.
The Katy, Texas, native made 43 of those tackles in 2020. Anderson finished second on the team with seven TFLs, shared third with 2.5 sacks and led the way with six QBHs to go along with the fumble recovery and the PBU.
He carded one sack and two tackles for loss, with three stops overall and one hurry against the Hoosiers in the Outback Bowl.
Anderson earned his degree in integrated marketing communications in May 2020.
The son of Rod and Jobie Anderson graduated from Katy High School. His brother, Rodney, was a running back for the Cincinnati Bengals (2019) and starred at the University of Oklahoma (2015-18).
His uncle, Mark, was a seven-year NFL veteran at defensive end and played at the University of Alabama (2002-05).
