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.
BATON ROUGE, La. (KLFY) — Governor Landry has officially declared Louisiana under state of emergency.
The state emergency declaration covers Avoyelles, Lafourche, Pointe Coupee, St. Landry, St. Tammany and Terrebonne parishes.
The declaration was issued Thursday following the impacts of Tropical Storm Arthur, which brough rainfall and strong storms to parts of the state on June 17 and 18.
Officials said the National Weather Service has confirmed three tornadoes tied to the storm system.
Officials also reported record or near-record rainfall totals in Avoyelles and Pointe Coupee parishes over a 12-hour period.
The order allows the Governor’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness to coordinate resources and provide assistance to local governments if needed.
Certain state purchasing and bidding requirements have been temporarily suspended to speed up emergency response efforts.
The declaration took effect immediately and will remain in place through July 18 unless it is lifted or extended.
State officials are urging residents to stay weather aware, avoid flooded roadways and follow guidance from local emergency managers.

MONROE, La. (KNOE) – The North Louisiana Crime Lab released a June 2026 law enforcement bulletin warning of additional cases tied to cyclorphine, a synthetic opioid the lab says can be significantly more potent than fentanyl.
The bulletin, titled “Cyclorphine Update — Additional Cases & Footprint,” notes that drug evidence submissions testing positive for cyclorphine have been received from multiple parishes in North Louisiana.
What is cyclorphine?
According to the bulletin, cyclorphine is a synthetic opioid in the emerging orphine drug class. The lab said current toxicity data are limited, but laboratory studies indicate cyclorphine may be up to 10 times more potent than fentanyl.
Reported effects
The crime lab said cyclorphine can produce effects similar to other narcotic analgesics, including:
- Central nervous system depression
- Lethargy or stupor
- Respiratory depression with slow, shallow breathing
- Pinpoint pupils
The bulletin said Narcan should be administered to someone suffering from cyclorphine toxicity, and that multiple doses may be needed.
What the bulletin says about trends
The crime lab said national data indicate cyclorphine will likely continue spreading through the region, including becoming more common in seized and submitted drug evidence.
Where cyclorphine has been detected
The bulletin includes a “detection timeline and counterfeit tablet types,” showing evidence submissions tied to specific parishes and dates, including:
- Caddo Parish (Feb. 19; April 14)
- Ouachita Parish (March 18; May 13)
- DeSoto Parish (March 25)
- Natchitoches Parish (May 14)
The lab also noted counterfeit pill types associated with these submissions, including tablets labeled “M30,” “M15,” “K56,” “1259,” and “M367.” Officials warned it may be impossible to know what a pill contains, even if it resembles a known tablet.
The North Louisiana Crime Lab said it will continue tracking trends and sharing updates as additional evidence is submitted.
