VYPE SETX Recruiting - Bryce Anderson, West Brook Football
VYPE caught up with West Brook's Bryce Anderson (2022) about being a top recruit, 2019 vs 2020, and his decision to commit to LSU.
Anderson currently is the #4 ranked safety in the nation by multiple media outlets.
Here is our interview with the MaxPreps All-American.
VYPE: You're ranked as the #4 safety in the nation by multiple outlets in your class, what are the tools you bring to the safety position that separates you from other elite level safeties?
ANDERSON: The tools that I bring is that I am a very versatile player. I can play corner and lock up any receiver. I can go in the nickel and lock up anybody, and I can also go play 30 yards back and show my range. So i'm very versatile which helps me a lot!
VYPE: West Brook had a disappointing loss to Strake Jesuit in the second round last year. What type of team will the Bruins have coming into the 2020 season?
ANDERSON: We will be a very young team with not that many returners, but we're capable of making a push for state and accomplishing everything we couldn't accomplish two years ago and that's winning state.
VYPE: You were one of the top sophomores in the nation last season, what is your mentality in 'getting better every day?'
ANDERSON: My mindset is if I'm not workin then I know somebody up in California or Florida or Georgia is working harder than me, and I will never accept that. I will outwork everyone even if that comes with me working out four times a day, I will always outwork everyone.
VYPE: As an incoming junior you will be looked at as a leader for the Bruins this year. What, in your opinion, makes a great leader and what type of leader do you want to be this year working with reserve players?
ANDERSON: What makes a great leader is leading by example & most importantly being a vocal leader. That's what i'm working more on now is being more of a vocal leader for the team.
VYPE: You were voted a Max Preps Sophomore All-American last year, what personal goals (tackles, ints, etc.) do you want to set for yourself heading into the 2020 season?
ANDERSON: I set to make a run for state because individual goals comes with team success, so the further we go in the playoffs the more colleges get to watch the games, the more exposure you get & the more yards you get.
VYPE: You are committed to play football for the LSU Tigers, what went into the decision to dedicate yourself to the LSU program?
ANDERSON: LSU was really where I wanted to be for the start. I went there on campus the first time & it was beautiful, I was sold on everything about it and I went to one of the craziest games of my life, the Florida game, and i committed after that.
UIL REALIGNMENT: Let's boil down Class 6A
Let's boil down the Class 6A football reclassification as it relates to the Greater Houston area.
District 21-6A becomes the new power conference with North Shore (back-to-back Class 6A DI state champs), Atascocita (2019 Region III finalist) and West Brook (2018 Class 6A DII state runner up).
The big winners were Deer Park and Channelview, who move to District 22-6A. While it will be tough to schedule for District 13-6A with six teams, it means that only two teams don't make the postseason.
Another interesting note is now Houston represents half of Region II (4 of 8 districts) and all of Region III.
REGION II
District 13-6A -- Are Conroe schools plus Willis.
District 14-6A -- Are the Spring and Aldine schools again. No change there.
District 15-6A -- Are the Klein and Tomball schools. Tomball moves up to Class 6A.
District 16-6A -- An all-Cy Fair district. Cy Falls moves over to replace Tomball Memorial.
…
REGION III
District 17-6A -- CFISD and Spring Branch ISD. Cy Falls moves out.
District 18-6A -- Remains all HISD schools.
District 19-6A -- Remains all Katy ISD schools.
District 20-6A -- Mostly Fort Bend ISD. Kempner moves to Class 5A. George Ranch moves in.
District 21-6A -- Lots of movement here. North Shore, CE King and West Brook stay. Deer Park, United (5A), Channelview, La Porte (5A) and Sterling (5A) move out. Humble, Atascocita, Kingwood and Summer Creek move IN.
District 22-6A -- Deer Park and Channelview move in with the Pasadena schools.
District 23-6A -- Strake Jesuit, Alief ISD and Pearland ISD remain. Out goes George Ranch. In comes Alvin and Shadow Creek (from 5A).
District 24-6A -- Clear Creek ISD and Dickinson remain. Alvin moves out to make room for Brazoswood coming up from Class 5A.
