LSUS Guard Taj Anderson Named RRAC Newcomer of the Year
Story by: LSU Shreveport Athletics SHREVEPORT, La. – LSUS standout guard Taj Anderson has been named the Red River Athletic Conference (RRAC) Newcomer of the Year, capping off a dominant debut season in the league.

A dynamic playmaker and elite scorer, Anderson has been recognized as the RRAC Player of the Week three times—twice for his offensive firepower and once for his defensive prowess. His all-around game has propelled the Pilots throughout the season, as he also contributes 3.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 2.1 steals per contest.
