Announced as head football coach at Oblerlin College. Started 48 games for Toledo in early 2000's. Why's name not ringing a bell?

Back in the day he was known as Jehu Anderson and he was a decent cornerback.

OK, that helps. Thought I found another George O'Leary.

IIRC he sported a huge fro during one of the ESPN games...Marshall? BG? It was sweet.

Had good speed and a pretty hard hitter as I recall.

My memory is foggy but I seem to recall that he had a super freshman year but IMO he never really improved much over the next three years as I thought he would with the additional experience.

Even if that is true, he won't be the first player I have held that opinion about.

Anyway, congratulations to him on his new head coaching position.

Isn't he the one that did half his hair on one side in curls (corn rows) and the other half was a huge fro?????

didn't he wear #37?????

good speed but sometimes he got beat deep, badly.

Some of Amstutz's comments on Anderson's hair was pretty funny.

If I remember, he was closer to being 5 ft. tall than he was to being 6 ft. tall. Fun to watch, but couldn't always clear that height hurdle.

I seem to recall Jehu wearing #24, but I could be wrong. I also recall that he seemed to have a great freshman season, but never quite lived up to expectations after that, solid but not great.

Jehu was opposite Brandon Hefflin who frankly was a bigger disappointment from freshman to Senior season.
Those were some amazing seasons.

If memory serves me (and it doesn't always..), Jehu had great closing speed and could deliver a lick. However, he didn't always [ahem..] react quickly to changes in his environment (if you know what I'm sayin').

Yeah, I think he had an impressive freshman season and, IIRC, a pretty decent senior season. As Fred stated, he was a decent corner.

Always glad to hear about the success of former (and especially current) Rockets.
