Aaron Anderson is having a stellar night for LSU, standing at 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing 188 pounds. He might just be one of the shortest wide receivers to touch the turf in Death Valley – but he sure is mighty tonight. Who is he?

“He’s a playmaker,” LSU Head Coach Kelly said. “As you know last year we struggled with big plays at times. To have a Barion Brown, Nic Anderson, Kyle Parker healthy, Zavion Thomas and Chris back, I mean that’s a big add compared to where we were last year with really just Aaron making them.”
