TROY, Ala. – Troy center Jake Andrews, who is foregoing his final year of eligibility to enter the NFL Draft, has been selected to participate in the annual NFL Combine, Feb. 27 thru March 6 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
A first team All-Sun Belt selection in his first season playing center, Andrews ranks as the No. 9 center in the NFL Draft, according to ESPN's Mel Kiper. The NFL Combine is the league's premier annual showcase for NFL Draft prospects.
Andrews played all but three snaps in Troy's Sun Belt Conference championship season and allowed only four sacks on 490 pass blocking situations. Andrews helped guide Troy to a 12-2 overall record, 11-game winning streak and Top 25 ranking in all three major polls. A native of Millbrook, Ala., Andrews was called for just four penalties, yielded just four hits on the quarterback and allowed only 11 hurries all season.
