VYPE DFW 411: Southlake Carroll's Kaden Anderson commits to Wyoming
Last year the question was "Who will step in as quarterback for the Dragons?" as fans and media alike wondered what the future had in store for Southlake Carroll football with the early exit of Quinn Ewers. This year the question was "Where will Kaden Anderson commit to?" That question was answered on Monday as Kaden Anderson took to social media to announce his commitment to play college football for the University of Wyoming. VYPE DFW's Shana Willeford reached out to Anderson following his commitment for an exclusive interview regarding his decision to commit to the Cowboys' program.
Last season, Anderson stepped into the starting role with ease- helping lead the Dragons to an undefeated regular season. Anderson went on to lead the Dragons deeper into playoffs before falling to eventual state runner-up Duncanville. During the season, Anderson threw for over 3,000 yards tallying 34 touchdowns. Anderson was named to the 4-6A First Team All-District.
