Ex-West Virginia running back Jaylen Anderson has found a new home, committing to South Dakota on Wednesday.
Anderson had the makings of a promising future in Morgantown with the way his career began. He saw very limited action in his first season at West Virginia, but down the stretch, he was needed with a beat-up room, and he took full advantage of his opportunity.
Anderson had a rough two-game stretch in the middle of the season that ultimately cost him his job. Garrett Greene threw a perfect ball on a wheel route, leading Anderson into the end zone against Houston. He had it, and then it bounced right into the hands of a Cougar defensive back, turning the ball over. The following week, he lost a fumble against UCF and didn’t see the field until the bowl game against North Carolina.
