"Vanderbilt is getting a great athlete and an outstanding young man. Andrew is one of the best offensive lineman to come through here. As a defensive end, our opponents just ran away for him.
"Andrew is going to get better and better as he continues to grow. Once he gets in the conditioning program at Vanderbilt, he'll be able to carry a lot more weight.
"Andrew was extremely versatile. Vanderbilt and two ACC schools offered him scholarships, and each offered at a different position."
