C.J. Anderson, a former Laney Eagles running back, will be starting for the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl 50 this Sunday.
Anderson played with the Eagles from 2009 -10 and, and after graduation from Laney, played with Cal from where he was drafted to the NFL. During his two years with the Laney Eagles, Anderson was a National Junior College Athletic Association NorCal Conference leader–rushing for 1,524 yards and scoring 16 touchdowns in the 2010 season. Anderson received All-Conference, All-Region, All-State and All-American honors.
Laney College — and everyone at the four Peralta Colleges — is proud of Anderson and all of our athletes: In 2014-15, 25 of Laney’s football players transferred to 4-year schools and collectively secured over $2 million in scholarship funds to support their educations.
