Former Oklahoma and current LSU wide receiver Nic Anderson needed medical treatment after a car wreck Friday night, according to a report by “The Advocate” in Baton Rouge.

Tigers coach Brian Kelly told the newspaper Anderson would miss about a week offseason work, but would return shortly thereafter to LSU’s program. The wreck wasn’t as bad as the single-car wreck involving quarterback Colin Hurley from January, Kelly said.

“It wasn’t quite as bad as Colin Hurley’s, which was life-threatening, but enough that he had to get checked in and stayed overnight for observations,” Kelly said Monday at SEC Media Days. “But he comes out of it really good.”

Hurley has since returned to the team.

Anderson transferred to LSU at the conclusion of the 2024 season, a season in which he barely played after suffering a lower-body injury. OU coach Brent Venables said the injury was to Anderson’s quadriceps. ESPN reported the injury to Anderson’s hip.

In 2023, as a redshirt freshman, Anderson was OU’s second-leading receiver. He caught 38 passes for 798 yards and 10 touchdowns. Last year, without Anderson, J.J. Hester led Sooners‘ wide receivers with just 31 receptions for 315 yards. Deion Burks led the wideouts with three touchdown catches but also missed significant time himself.

“We didn’t want to get into a situation where, as you know, the medical issues with him at Oklahoma were real,” Kelly said. “So, we just wanted to be careful with him.”
