Anderson led Region 20 in field goal percentage with 64% his freshmen season and shot 58.8% overall in his two years at the River.  He was selected to the Florida Southern All-Conference Second Team for the 2016-17 season.  He finished his Indian River career with 520 points and 365 rebounds.

"I am very thankful for the opportunity to have coached Andrew these past two years.  His energy, work ethic, and leadership have had a major impact on our program.  I am looking forward to watching Andrew have a great career at AIC," stated Coach Wilson.

Anderson was very appreciative of his two year experience, "being at Indian River really changed my life, I will carry what I have learned here not only going on to American International College, but for the rest of my life."
