Anthony succeeds Dwayne Thomas, who spent just one year with the Bruins. Bonnabel was 5-6, reaching the Select Division I playoffs, losing to rival East Jefferson 28-10 in the first round.

Thomas took over for BJ Cohen, who spent two years as the head coach.

Anthony served as defensive line coach for the Bruins under Thomas this past season.

Anthony was part of LSU’s 2019 national championship team. Anthony played in 35 games in his four seasons with the Tigers. He was drafted in the seventh round by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 2022 NFL Draft, though he did not play there. Anthony later spent time on the practice squad of the Chicago Bears.
