Oklahoma's Nic Anderson (4) runs after a reception as West Virginia's Malachi Ruffin (14) chases him in the first half of a college football game between the University of Oklahoma Sooners and the West Virginia Mountaineers at Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium in Norman, Okla., Saturday, Nov., 11, 2023.

LSU transfer wide receiver Nic Anderson spent one night in a hospital this past weekend after he sustained unspecified injuries in a car crash, head coach Brian Kelly said, according to The Advocate.

Anderson committed to LSU in December after he transferred from Oklahoma. He appeared in one game for the Sooners last season and did not have a catch, missing time with an undisclosed lower-body injury.

As a freshman in 2023, Anderson had 38 receptions for 798 yards and 10 touchdowns over 13 games (six starts) for the Sooners.

News of Anderson's involvement in an auto accident comes six months after Tigers quarterback Colin Hurley was seriously injured after a one-car crash near campus in January. Hurley has returned and participated in spring practice in April.

"It wasn't quite as bad as Colin Hurley's, which was life-threatening, but enough that he had to get checked in and stayed overnight for observations," Kelly said of Anderson at SEC Media Days. "But he comes out of it really good."

Anderson is expected to be available when LSU starts training camp.
