Xenia’s versatile Anderson adds to area Ball State line
A tight end for much of his Xenia High School career, Dakota Anderson made a transition to playing more offensive line this season.
That caused a problem for coach Bob DeLong, who sometimes needed Anderson - like his teammate Michael Vollmer - to switch between positions in the same game. That required different jersey numbers.
Turns out that DeLong’s mother is crafty, and she created Velcro-on jerseys that the players could quickly put on or take off to change numbers during a game.
Not only that, but the 6-5 Anderson was one of the best punters in the area this season, and he’s also a member of the Buccaneers’ basketball team.
With that versatility, one could expect Anderson to find a way to contribute quickly to the Ball State football team, to which he’ll officially bind himself today by signing a letter of intent. Anderson is one of three local players, along with Coldwater quarterback Keith Wenning and Northmont defensive back Quintin Cooper, expected to sign with Ball State.
That means that BSU, despite the departure last year of coach Brady Hoke (a Kettering native) to San Diego State, is still collecting talent from the Miami Valley. The Cardinals’ roster includes seven players from the area: Tight end Ryan Hartke (St. Henry), safety Kyle Kuntz (Vandalia Butler), long snapper Cody Muhlenkamp (Coldwater), defensive tackle Jafe Pitcock (Piqua), defensive end Andrew Puthoff (St. Henry), defensive tackle Pete Rolf (Piqua) and linebacker Lorren Womack (Wayne).
Anderson, Wenning and Cooper will add to that line.
