College career

Tyler Junior College

Anthony played for Tyler Junior College in four games during the 2022 season. He intercepted the ball one time, against Kilgore College.

Auburn

After transferring to Auburn, Anthony played in four games during the 2023 season. He was considered a leading defensive back in 2024, but Anthony suffered a broken leg against Arkansas. He was carried off the field in a stretcher after the injury.

After receiving surgery, Anthony resumed training in the spring of 2025. Anthony returned for practice in fall training. He was described as a potential breakout star for the season by A.J. Hester of Sports Illustrated. In his first game back against the Baylor Bears, he suffered a broken thumb, which required surgery. He returned, but suffered a leg injury soon after, which caused him to miss the rest of the season.
