What others say:
Oregon State offensive line coach Mike Cavanaugh - "He's an
intelligent guy. You don't have to tell Andy Levitre anything
twice. That's what the great ones do. It's his great work ethic and
athletic ability. He has all the tools you are looking for - feet,
balance, power. He's a real athletic guy for a big fella."
Career synopsis: The
6-foot-3, 317-pound offensive lineman did a little bit of everything
during his career at Oregon State, starting out at guard before moving
to tackle.
He shined brightest his senior year,
earning first team All-Pac-10 and first team All-American honors by several
publications. One
of the most technically sound offensive lineman in school history he capped
his OSU career with 35 consecutive starts.
Levitre, a co-team captain in '08, was a
rock on the left side of the line and ends his time in Corvallis as one of
the most decorated offensive lineman in Oregon State football annals.
OSU offensive line coach Mike Cavanaugh
says he is the best lineman he has ever coached and if there is one player
that young offensive lineman should pattern their game after it is Levitre's.
