Draft Profile: Bio
Terrell Anderson was a four-star receiver at Grimsley High School in Greensboro, North Carolina. He caught 64 passes for 1,254 yards and 11 touchdowns as a junior, with three kick-return touchdowns, and had 64 catches for 1,114 yards and 14 scores as a senior, when Grimsley reached the state final.Anderson caught 14 passes for 158 yards and a touchdown at NC State in 2024. He made five starts the following year and caught 39 passes for five touchdowns, leading the team in receiving yards, and he had six catches for 166 yards and two touchdowns against Duke.
USC landed Anderson in January 2026 as one of the top-rated transfers in the country. He missed most of fall camp with an injury the school did not disclose, and he caught two passes for 50 yards against Oregon in September. He had season-ending surgery in October after playing in three games.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Caught six passes for 166 yards and two touchdowns against Duke
- Led NC State in receiving yards in 2025
- Good speed on the outside, which helps him stretch defenses
- Big-play threat who averaged about 16 yards a catch in 2025
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Had season-ending surgery in October after only three games
- Sat out most of 2026 fall camp with an unnamed injury
- Only two catches for USC before his injury
- Dropped four passes during his breakout 2025 season at NC State
- One season as a regular contributor so far
Scouting Report: Summary
Anderson is a productive, explosive receiver who led NC State in receiving yards in 2025. He has good speed and a knack for big plays, as his 166 yards and two touchdowns against Duke showed.However, his first season at USC was a lost one, with an injury in camp and season-ending surgery after three games. He has only one productive college season and dropped four passes in it.
Overall, Anderson has starting-level tools but little film and a medical question. He projects as a priority free agent and would benefit from returning in 2027.
