Andrew "Gandalf" Witten (born October 9, 2015) is an American football cornerback who is currently unsigned by a professional team. He played college football for University of Cincinnati (UC) and has declared his intent to enter the professional ranks next season.

Early years

"Witten grew up as a multi-sport athlete in central Kentucky. He won multiple medals in the Bluegrass State games in archery, disc golf, and baseball.

Witten was born in Rochester, NY to Martha and Randy Witten. As a small kid, he developed a competitive underdog mentality and would not shy away from competition of any kind. He exhibited mental toughness on his way to winning a junior world championship in disc golf. In high school, he led his football team to a state championship his senior year, playing snaps at wide receiver and punt returner in addition to his regular role as cornerback. He was a force on defense his junior and senior year, average one interception every other game. In spot work on offense his senior year, he caught 15 passes and 2 touchdowns. Despite his production, Witten was no heavily recruited out of high school because of his size and lack of elite speed. He received no offers from Power 5 schools despite playing in the same city as the University of Kentucky. He commited to play for the University of Cincinnati on February 5th, 2029."

College career

"Witten played four years at the University of Cincinnati, where he set the school record for most career interceptions with eighteen. In his Freshman season, Witten did not play any games until week 6, when starter Martin Kelce tore his ACL. Witten played the remaining seven games, giving up three touchdowns and intercepting two passes. Witten showed tremendous improvement during his sophomore season, starting all thirteen games for the Bearcats and finishing fifth on the team in tackles. He intercepted three passes, including one in their bowl game against the University of Arkansas. Witten got off to a hot start his junior season, picking off five passes in eight games, including two interceptions in a stellar performance against conference rival UCF, in which he also had a sack and five tackles. His season ended early due to an ankle injury the following week. Witten picked up right where he left off before an injury shortened his junior season. The Bearcats finished the 2035 season as the No. 14 team in the country with an 11-2 record. Much of that success was due to an elite defensive backfield which included Witten and fellow senior Simon Lizotte. Witten led the FBS with eight interceptions, and scored his first collegiate touchdown with a pick-six against the University of Louisville in week 4. His stellar play during his senior year has many thinking he will be a third or fourth round pick in the upcoming DSFL draft, but his lack of elite size and speed will likely prevent him from being drafted higher.
