Former Tennessee football offensive lineman Max Anderson has found his new home, and it’s not too far away. The Vols’ interior lineman transfer has committed to Kentucky, according to On3.
Anderson just rounded out his second collegiate season and will have three years of eligibility remaining. He played in three games as an offensive contributor in 2025, during the wins over ETSU, UAB and New Mexico State. In that time, he recorded 76 snaps between the two guard positions for a PFF grade of 55.3 on the year.
As a true freshman, Anderson played against Kent State and UTEP for a total of 47 offensive snaps. He registered a 58.8 PFF grade that season.
Anderson was a highly-recruited prospect out of high school. Hailing from Frisco, Texas, he was a four-star prospect, according to 247 rankings. He was considered the No. 16 interior offensive lineman and No. 42 player from Texas in the 2024 class.

Anderson is one of 22 Tennessee football players to hit the portal so far. This includes a handful of offensive lineman including starting left tackle Lance Heard and reserve linemen Trevor Duncan, Bennett Warren and William Satterwhite.
This is now the third of that group to have committed to their new school. Kicker Max Gilbert is headed to Arkansas, while offensive tackle Bennett Warren is on his way to Minnesota.
Tennessee is set to return a good bit of its offensive line, though. This includes five-star freshman standout David Sanders Jr., guards Wendell Moe Jr. and Sham Umarov, center Sam Pendleton and versatile piece Jesse Perry.
UT is hosting a handful of offensive linemen through the transfer portal, but has yet to land one up front. The lone commitment so far is safety Qua Moss from Kansas State.
