His senior year, he was featured as the 1 running back, but played several other positions including quarterback, receiver, kicker, free safety, and corner. Anthony also played on special teams (kick return and punt return). Anthony was voted MVP by his peers after his 2011 season. He broke a school record for the most rushing yards in a single game, 367 yards (vs. East Lansing). That game gave him the recognition of TV 6 News which awarded him Team Sports Player of the Week.

The A.P. and Detroit Free Press awarded Anthony with honorable mention (running back) and the Detroit Free Press awarded him with All State Team Captain Division 3/4.
