Redshirt freshman Shane Anderson is one of a number of wide receivers battling for playing time during preseason camp. What Anderson has going for him is the fact that he clearly did not take much time off in the offseason.
Anderson came into camp noticeably stronger as his work in the weight room certainly paid off.
"The kid basically obliterated every weightlifting record we have for receivers," position coach Scott Baumgartner said.
He set all three school records for wide receivers, getting up 400 pounds in the bench press and lifting 361 in the hang clean and squatting 620 points, according to head strength coach Matt Eck.
"He worked hard in the offseason and that work ethic is going to pay off for him," Nevada coach Chris Ault said. "He has looked pretty good in camp so far. We're pleased."
Said Baumgartner: "He is just a hard-working kid. He's doing everything that we ask of him and he is battling hard for playing time."
