South Ridge’s Connor Bushbaum, Tyler Anderson Sign NLIs

Anderson and Bushbaum were members of a South Ridge football team that won its first section title in program history back in 2019.

CULVER, Minn. – Wednesday, a pair of National Letter of Intent signings at South Ridge High School.

Tyler Anderson signed his NLI to join the St. Scholastica football team, while Connor Bushbaum is officially taking his talents to the Minnesota Crookston baseball team. And each Panther had their own reason for their respective path.

“Last year, I dislocated my shoulder. And then I fell in love with physical therapy and all that so I wanted to go to Scholastica and continue to play football there because I love football,” said Anderson.

“My decision was between three schools: CSS, UW-Stout and Crookston. I think Crookston was just the best choice for me because going to a small class size in Crookston, just like it is here, I think it would be the best fit for me,” Bushbaum said.
