2017 (Senior)
Games/Starts: 11/11
Position: OL
Stats: Started all 11 games ... Opened at left guard for first four games before moving to center for last seven ... Part of offensive line unit that sparked Raiders to 185.3 rushing yards per game, tops in Patriot League ... Colgate also allowed just 25 quarterback sacks, fewest in conference ... Led Patriot League and ranked 15th nationally with 32:34 time of possession average.
Coach Hunt on Andy: "Andy is a guy who took the steps you would want him to take. The last two years, he's been playing quite a bit. What I like about having Andy out there is, mentally, he knows exactly what we want to do on offense. He's going to make the calls and make the checks that get us in the right position. And now that he's a senior, he's physically taking over some people. You've got a guy who knows what he's doing and can physically move people -- that's what you want on the offensive line. He's your true lunch-pail offensive lineman who has played through some injuries and never complains. He comes out, goes to work, does the job, lines up and does it again. He's kind of the mold of what you are looking for in that offensive lineman mentality."
