Scout Report
The 6-9 power forward from Southern California has already made his college decision, choosing to stay on the West Coast for his next chapter.
Background
Hailing from Rancho Santa Margarita, California, Drew Anderson has developed into a key piece at Santa Margarita Catholic High School. Playing alongside fellow D1 commits Kaiden Bailey (Georgia Tech-bound) and Brayden Kyman (Washington State-bound), Anderson has been part of a talented frontcourt that has elevated the program's profile on the national stage.
Playing Style
Anderson brings solid size and length to the power forward position at 6-9, offering versatility in the frontcourt. His ability to play both inside and stretch the floor makes him an attractive modern big man prospect. While he may not be the most explosive athlete, Anderson compensates with basketball IQ and positional awareness. His frame suggests room for continued physical development, which could unlock additional upside as he matures into his college years.
Recruitment
After fielding nine Division I offers from programs including Oregon State, Dartmouth, Eastern Washington, Montana, Montana State, Weber State, UC Irvine, and UC Riverside, Anderson ultimately committed to Oregon State. Ranked #151 nationally in the 2026 class, he projects as a solid rotation player who could develop into a starter with continued development of his skill set and physicality.
