Adam O. Anderson (born October 19, 1999) is an American football linebacker. He previously played college football for the Georgia Bulldogs.
Anderson attended Rome High School in Rome, Georgia. As a senior in 2017, he was The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's high school football player of the year after recording 63 tackles, 10 sacks and an interception. [1] He was selected to the 2018 U.S. Army All-American Bowl. A five-star recruit, Anderson committed to the University of Georgia to play college football. [2] [3]
As a true freshman at Georgia in 2018, Anderson played in all 14 games and had 16 tackles 0.5 sacks. As a sophomore in 2019, he again played in all 14 games, recording six tackles and two sacks. As a junior in 2020, he played in all 10 games and finished with 14 tackles and 6.5 sacks. [4] [5] Anderson returned to Georgia for his senior season in 2021 rather than enter the 2021 NFL Draft. [6]
On November 10, 2021, Anderson turned himself into police and was charged with felony rape after a 21-year-old woman accused him of raping her by forcing himself upon her while she was asleep in an apartment in Athens, Georgia, on October 29, 2021, which was reported to police the same day. Through his attorney, Anderson denied the accusation. Anderson was indefinitely suspended by the University of Georgia football team after they learned of the accusation on November 2, 2021. He was subsequently released on a $25,000 bond. [7] [8] [9] Anderson was an apparent 2022 first round NFL draft pick before his arrest. [10]
Subsequently, Anderson was charged a second time with felony rape after a previously unreported accusation was made by another 21-year-old woman that he raped her at his apartment near Watkinsville, Georgia, the same fall as the first accusation. Anderson denied this accusation also, and his attorney moved to have a single trial for both charges. [10] [11]
