Brian Kelly reveals LSU WR involved in car accident, needed medical attention
LSU receiver Nic Anderson needed medical attention after a car accident on Friday, Brian Kelly revealed Monday during SEC Media Days.
“It wasn’t quite as bad as Colin Hurley’s, which was life-threatening, but enough that he had to get checked in and stayed overnight for observations,” Kelly said, per NOLA.com. “But he comes out of it really good.”
Hurley, a redshirt freshman quarterback, was involved in a single-car wreck in January. He has since rejoined the team.
Anderson, an Oklahoma transfer, is expected to be available when camp kicks off.
“I heard about that this morning,” LSU receiver Chris Hilton told reporters on Monday. “I hope he’s OK.”
Anderson was limited during spring practice while recovering from injury issues that plagued his career with the Sooners. He missed almost the entire 2024 season, while dealing with a leg injury issue.
He’s very electric, very, very good football player, and makes plays on the ball in the air that are unbelievable,” LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier said Monday. “For him and me it’s about getting the chemistry down and the timing and getting on the same page on things. And that’s what the summer has been for and spring ball.
“Very excited for Nic, and looking forward to what he’s going to be able to put out this year.”
Anderson broke out in his second season with the Sooners when he had 38 catches for 798 yards and 10 touchdowns.
LSU kicks off the season against Clemson on Aug. 30 at Memorial Stadium in an attempt to snap an opening-game losing streak that has stretched five years.
