It has been a fascinating, and misty unfortunate ride for former Michigan and Oklahoma wide receiver Andrel Anthony Jr. An extremely talented pass catcher, Anthony has had issues dealing with a long list of injuries during the course of his college career. That has led him back to the transfer portal for the season time, announcing a commitment to the Duke Blue Devils on Thursday.
Known for his speed and big play ability, Anthony began his Michigan career with a lot of promise. During the 2021 season, he hauled in just 12 receptions but it went for 248 yards and three touchdowns. His 20.7 yards per reception average led the Wolverines that season.
After an underutilized and injury-plagued season in 2022, Anthony opted to enter the transfer portal. The demand for the speedster was high, eventually landing with the Sooners over a long list of potential suitors. Once again, he flashed his big play ability early on. In just six games in 2023, Anthony hauled in 27 receptions for 429 yards and a touchdown.
The Lansing, Michigan native unfortunately dealt with another injury in 2024. He played in just one game this fall, making one reception for four yards. For a projection into the future, Anthony has seemed to have his best games every other year, which means the 2025 season has a chance to be a huge one. That’s what Duke is going to be banking on.
In just their first season under head coach Manny Diaz, the Blue Devils finished the regular season with a 9-3 record. They have had a tremendous year, and the arrow is definitely pointing up for Diaz’s squad. Getting a more efficient, and explosive passing attack could be the next step. Anthony, along with Tulane transfer Darian Mensah should be exactly what the doctor ordered.
