Michigan lands commitment from Louisiana transfer portal CB Caleb Anderson
Sherrone Moore and Michigan have added another player to the 2025 roster in the form of sixth-year cornerback Caleb Anderson from Louisiana, according to Sam Webb of 247Sports. Anderson represents Michigan’s second addition from the transfer portal on Sunday, as Michigan picked up wide receiver Anthony Simpson from UMass earlier in the day.
Anderson represents a badly-needed addition to Michigan’s secondary, as Aamir Hall exhausted his eligibility while Will Johnson is headed to the NFL. The cupboard certainly isn’t bare for Michigan, as Jyaire Hill and Zeke Berry should both be back for the 2025 campaign, but both players were a bit inconsistent and there isn’t much experience behind them on the depth chart.
Experience is something Anderson certainly has. He’s been a contributor for Louisiana since the 2022 season, but has been playing college football since 2020. Furthermore, he’s got some familiarity with Michigan defensive backs coach Lamar Morgan, who was with the Ragin’ Cajuns for the 2022 and 2023 seasons, as well as Anderson’s freshman year in 2020.
Anderson also brings plenty of size to the position, as he’s listed at 6-foot-3 and 200 pounds.
To date, the 2023 season was Anderson’s most productive for Louisiana. During that season, he appeared in 10 games and made eight starts. He registered 23 tackles and had one interception, while also breaking up 10 passes. The production took a bit of a step back in 2024, as he made only 19 tackles and wasn’t credited with any pass breakups or interceptions in an injury-plagued season.
Regardless, Anderson is a welcome addition to the Michigan secondary and will push Hill and Berry for snaps, while also helping to bring along younger players like Jo’Ziah Edmond and Shamari Earls.

Louisiana lawmaker authors bill to simplify tax errors, help drug crisis
BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — A new law signed by President Donald Trump could make simple tax return mistakes easier to fix.
U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy authored The IRS Math Act, aiming to clear up confusion around IRS error notices. Millions of Americans receive a letter from the IRS saying, “There’s a math error” on their federal return every year.
For many, the notices are hard to understand, and even harder to fix, but the new IRS Math Act aims to change that.
“For all of you who called our office, my office, you made an honest mistake on your tax return, and now you feel the whole weight of the IRS coming after you,” said Cassidy. “It says if you make an honest mistake, you confess, you pay the difference, and all is clear,” Senator Cassidy said.
The bill requires the IRS to make the error notices on federal returns clearer and provide a path for correcting honest mistakes. It spells out how taxpayers can respond, what they owe, and how to resolve issues without escalation. The bill passed with bipartisan support.
Trump also signed another bill from Cassidy, the Support Act, which further targets the fentanyl crisis in the U.S.
“The Support Act is about preventing, treating, and delivering recovery services for Americans co-diagnosed with both addiction and mental illness,” said Cassidy. “One law enforcement officer I spoke to said, ‘You cannot arrest your way out of this epidemic of drug abuse.’ So, we’ve got to address two things at once in this bill — addiction and mental illnesses; they often go together. Now, I speak as a doctor, I know that giving the opportunity to be healed, to return to wholeness, is one of the ways we get out of this drug crisis.”
Implementation guidelines for the acts are expected from federal agencies in the coming months.
