Oklahoma star RB Rodney Anderson to miss another season
Updated: 30th May 2023
Anderson left the Sooners’ ’ Week 2 game of UCLA in the very first quarter.
Oklahoma redshirt junior running back Rodney Anderson is out for the season with a knee injury, the Sooners revealed Sunday.
That makes 2018 the 3rd complete season Anderson will have missed out on due to injury in his Oklahoma profession, after he fought numerous other disorders. He played in 2 games in 2015 prior to a leg injury ended his season. The next year, a fall-camp neck injury held him out all year. In his very first healthy season as a starter, 2017, Anderson shined.
““ We ’ re sad for him,” ” Lincoln Riley stated in a school release . ““ He ’ s overcome a lot in his profession, and if any person can do it once again it’’ s Rodney. ”
Anderson left the Sooners ’ game versus UCLA on Saturday after a run at the very end’ of the first quarter. He ’d simply been gang-tackled by 3 Bruins protectors, with his body twisting a bit as he went to the ground. He didn ’ t go back to the game.

Anderson flew rather under the radar in 2017, in spite of being the included back for the nation ’ s highest-flying offense. Baker Mayfield and OU ’ s passing game drew even more attention, even as Anderson eclipsed 1,400 scrimmage yards and scored 18 touchdowns. In Week 1 2018 romp versus FAU, he carried 5 times for 100 backyards and 2 scored.
.
Heading into the year, Anderson was considered a fringe but legitimate Heisman candidate. (If anything worked against him in that race, it’s that he shares an offense with former five-star QB Kyler Murray, who’d be likely to take a lot of votes from him.) Anderson had 50/1 Heisman odds in August, according to offshore bookmaker Bovada.
His co-backups on the OU depth chart are sophomore Trey Sermon and senior Marcelias Sutton. Oklahoma has plenty of talent elsewhere on its offense, but the loss of Anderson makes the unit considerably weaker. More than that, it’s an awful shame for Anderson.
