Andrew Steven Levitre (/ləˈviːtri/ lə-VEE-tree; born May 15, 1986) is an American former professional football player who was an offensive guard in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Oregon State Beavers and was selected by the Buffalo Bills in the second round of the 2009 NFL draft. He also played in the NFL for the Tennessee Titans and Atlanta Falcons.
Levitre played high school football at San Lorenzo Valley High School in Felton, California, where he was a two-way lineman.[1] In his junior season, he recorded 47 tackles, two quarterback sacks and two fumble recoveries. He added more than 60 tackles and three sacks in his senior year.
Considered only a two-star recruit by both Rivals.com and Scout.com,[2][3] Levitre was not ranked among the nation's top offensive line prospects in 2004. He chose Oregon State over LSU, Fresno State, and Arizona,[4] where his older brother, Erick, played center (2002–2006).
College career
Levitre redshirted in 2004, and played in all 11 games as a redshirt-freshman in 2005, while starting against Oregon. In his sophomore season, he started in game four of the season after senior starter Josh Linehan injured a knee in game three against Idaho. Levitre earned Pac-10 Honorable Mention as a player and academically.
During his junior year, Levitre started every game at either right or left tackle, and earned Pac-10 Conference second-team honors as selected by the coaches. For his senior season he was named to the 2008 Outland Trophy watch list, and started all 13 games at left tackle. He registered a career-high 91 knockdowns and 14 touchdown-resulting blocks and was earned All-American status by the American Football Coaches Association and Pro Football Weekly. He was considered the most-decorated Beaver offensive lineman since John Didion, a consensus All-America choice in the late 1960s.[4][5]
