Anderson signs to become a Racer
MBB: The Boise State transfer started his career at Arizona
Dylan Anderson, the 7-footer who most recently played at Boise State, officially signed with Murray State on Wednesday.
“Dylan Anderson brings elite size, skill, and versatility to our program," Murray State Head Coach Ryan Miller said in a statement. "His experience at high-level programs like Arizona and Boise State, combined with his potential to dominate in the paint, makes him a cornerstone for our vision for competing for MVC championships."
In high school, Anderson was the fifth player in Arizona history to win the Gatorade Player of the Year award on multiple occasions. Rivals and 247Sports both listed him as a Top-100 recruit coming out of high school.
Anderson played 15 games at Arizona as a freshman, averaging 3.6 minutes and 1.4 points per game. He used the 2023-24 season to redshirt to working on developing his game. Anderson left Arizona after that season to transfer to Boise State.
During the 2024-25 campaign, Anderson played in 24 games, starting in 11, averaging 3.5 points and 1.7 rebounds in 10.1 minutes of action per game. He will have two years of eligibility remaining.
With Anderson signing with Murray State, here are the 13 players, at this moment, who are set to be on next year’s roster playing for the Racers in 2025-26:

WOW. In Bidwell terms, "we are getting some dudes!"
I have only watched Murray State basketball for a few years, going back to Cameron Payne, but this seems the tallest, biggest lineup I have seen for Murray State men's basketball.
