Erick Scott Anderson (born October 7, 1968) is a former American football player.
Anderson played college football as a linebacker at the University of Michigan from 1988 to 1991. As a senior in 1991, he won the Butkus Award as the best collegiate linebacker in the country, was named Co-Defensive Player of the Year in the Big Ten Conference and was selected as a first-team All-American. He is the only player in Michigan Wolverines football history to lead the team in tackles for four consecutive years, and his 390 tackles at Michigan ranks third in school history.
Anderson also played professional football as linebacker in the National Football League (NFL) for the Kansas City Chiefs in 1993 and the Washington Redskins in 1994.
Anderson was born in Long Beach, California, in 1968. He attended Glenbrook South High School in Glenview, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago.
Anderson enrolled at the University of Michigan in 1987 and played college football as a linebacker for the Michigan Wolverines football teams from 1988 to 1991.
After redshirting in 1987, Anderson started six games at inside linebacker for the 1988 Michigan Wolverines football team that compiled a 9-2-1 record, outscored opponent 361-167, and was ranked #4 in the final AP Poll. After Michigan lost its first two games to then #1 ranked Miami and eventual national champion Notre Dame, Anderson was inserted into the lineup for the third game against Wake Forest. The Wolverines went undefeated in their final 10 games. Anderson had the best game of his freshman season against Ohio State, registering 16 tackles, as the Wolverines defeated the Buckeyes 34-31. He also had 12 tackles, including eight solo tackles, in Michigan's 22-14 victory over USC in the 1989 Rose Bowl. Despite his freshman status and starting only half the games, Anderson led the 1988 team with 77 tackles.
