Trent Andrews, Bosqueville Lineman, Sparks Division I Interest



Bosqueville's 2014 defensive tackle prospect (#66) Trent Andrews




Bosqueville High School’s star lineman, Trent Andrews, has sparked the interest of Division I coaches with his impact on the field.

Andrews, who will be a senior this upcoming year, has not yet received any offers, but has been in contact with FCS schools by the likes of Texas Southern University, South Dakota State University and just about every Ivory League school. He has also recently gained some FBS interest from the coaching staff at the University of Houston.

The 6’2’’, 285-pound lineman is capable of playing three positions, which include guard, defensive tackle and defensive end. This past season, Andrews acquired several accolades at said positions, including: 1st Team All State Defensive Lineman, 2nd Team All State Offensive Lineman, 1st Team Super CenTex Guard, 1st Team All Smoaky Super CenTex Offensive Lineman and 2nd Team All Smoaky Super CenTex Defensive Lineman.

According to Andrews, he feels, at the division I level, he can make the most impact at the defensive tackle position, which is where he also feels the most comfortable. With his size and quickness, recently clocking a 5.08 40-yard dash time, he is explosive and is able to shed blocks particularly well. This past season, he recorded 9 ½ sacks and 36 TFL.

When asked what separates him from other recruits at his position, he said that he prides himself on his work ethic over anything. Though from a smaller school, he knows, with his work ethic, he can compete with guys at larger schools.

"You get in what you put out," said Andrews. "That includes during school and after school workouts in the summer...you just have to stay grinding."

Andrews not only works hard on the field, but he has a great work ethic in the classroom, as well. He currently has a 3.5 GPA and just recently scored a 24 on the ACT. With that, in his search for a college or university, Andrews ensures that academics, not just a strong football program, will influence his decision. He plans on majoring in business with minors in religion and kinesiology.

As for the summer, along with attending TA’s CenTex Legit Football Combine, Andrews plans on attending a few camps, several of which are division I. He will be working out at camps hosted by North Texas, Houston, Rice and also West Virginia, whose camp is invite only.
