The Millbrook native’s stock has been rising and he hopes to hear his name called for the 2023 NFL Draft
TROY, Ala. - The NFL Draft begins Thursday and runs through the weekend, and there are a few hopefuls from the Troy football team hoping to hear their names called. This includes junior center Jake Andrews, who’s had the dream of playing in the NFL since he was playing youth football in Millbrook.
Andrews’ love for swimming later turned into a love for playing football and wrestling by the time he got to Stanhope Elmore High School. From there, Andrews chose to pursue football on the collegiate level. He attended Troy with a chip on his shoulder, looking to prove something to those who might’ve overlooked him coming out of high school.
That chip drove Andrews to become one of the best offensive linemen in the Sun Belt Conference. It wasn’t until this past season, however, that he really began to feel he had a shot to play in the NFL. Andrews saw his stock continue to rise, even after the end of the season, “I’m thinking, ‘Okay, I’m a seventh round, maybe undrafted guy, maybe sixth round,’” he said. That was when invites to the Senior Bowl and NFL Combine changed Andrews’ outlook on his draft stock.
