John received numerous awards and All-State recognition during his high school career and was heavily recruited by numerous Division I Schools. He chose to attend Ohio State University on a basketball scholarship. He was named the Buckeyes best defensive player his junior year, and as a senior he was named co-captain. John was a quiet, unassuming person who was known as a “blue collar worker” by everyone. He worked hard and was tremendously loyal to his teammates, friends and family.

The Anderson family founded a scholarship in John’s memory through the Linn-Mar Foundation... more
