USU announced his firing last month, along with two other employees, following an investigation into how cases of domestic violence and sexual assault were handled.
The football team has been central to multiple allegations of mishandled sexual abuse at USU. Anderson was recorded in 2021 telling players "has never been more glamorized to be a victim" of assault.
