Sheldon Wilson, Tyler Melton make Anadarko offense versatile
Anadarko’s top offensive threat is running back Sheldon Wilson, who rushed for 2,798 yards and 49 touchdowns as a junior.
But senior quarterback Tyler Melton, and the trio of returning senior receivers — Kyle Bert, Tanner Dearman and Ryan Stephenson — make it difficult for opposing defenses to key in too closely on Wilson.
“We’re looking forward to putting up a lot of points, just like we did last year,” Melton said. “Defense will have to respect both; we’ll be able to throw and be able to run.”
In 2010, Melton threw for 1,017 yards and nine touchdowns, and also added 566 yards and five scores on the ground. Bert caught six touchdown passes last year.
Wilson said Melton’s intelligence makes him especially dangerous for defenses.
“Tyler is really smart,” Wilson said. “He doesn’t make bad decisions.”
