Tarleton State quarterback Kaden Anderson earned his third consecutive UAC Offensive Player of the Week award after leading the No. 1 Texans to a 49-6 win over West Georgia. He threw four touchdown passes without an interception and added a rushing score as Tarleton stayed unbeaten.

By the Numbers
  • Anderson: 14-of-24 passing, 296 yards, 4 passing touchdowns, 0 interceptions; 17 rushing yards and 1 touchdown.
  • He has 24 passing touchdowns and 2,268 passing yards this season.
  • Tarleton is 8-0 overall, 3-0 in UAC play and has earned 12 conference weekly honors in eight games.
  • The Texans average 506.0 yards and 41.9 points per game.
Yes, But

Anderson’s award-winning performance comes amid a broader team effort: Tarleton has collected conference honors across offense, defense, special teams and freshman categories. The Texans are also one of three undefeated teams in the FCS, alongside Stephen F. Austin and Harvard.

State of Play
  • Tarleton has opened 8-0 for the second straight season and is 19-1 in regular-season play since the start of 2025.
  • The Texans rank first in FCS total offense and scoring offense, and fourth in passing offense.
  • Anderson has thrown at least three touchdown passes in five straight games.
Bottom Line

Anderson’s production is powering an undefeated start, but Tarleton’s offensive dominance and contributions across the roster make the Texans’ run more than a one-player story.
