Dan Duggan of the Athletic reports that the Giants are signing Rutgers punter Ryan Anderson to a contract after he tried out for the team during their rookie minicamp this weekend.
Anderson will get the opportunity to compete with Riley Dixon for the Giants’ punter spot this summer.
Anderson confirmed the news via his Twitter account:
Words can’t describe how grateful I am to the New York Giants organization for making a lifelong dream of mine come true. Thank you to everybody who has helped me along the way! I’m officially a New York Football Giant! #NYGiants #NFL pic.twitter.com/o2VrXJ9qJF

Anderson played two seasons at Olivet before transferring to Rutgers last year.
During his one season at Rutgers, Anderson totaled 3,508 punt yards on 79 attempts (44.4 YPC), which was No. 1 in the Big Ten in both total yards and yards per punt.
