Harrison Andrews (born May 27, 2015) is an American football defensive end for the London Royals of the Developmental Simulation Football League (DSFL).

Early years

Harrison was born in Lakeland, Florida to mother, Pam, and father, Jim, on May 27th, 2015. Throughout childhood, he always stood out as he dwarfed other children his age. With a father that is a sports agent, Harrison found himself constantly around different sporting events and quickly inherited his father's love for sports. He played several different sports as a child, but found that his size and strength translated particularly well on the football field. He participated in multiple sports until high school where he began focusing on football alone.

As a freshman, Harrison was a starter on the offensive and defensive sides of the ball, but suffered a season ending leg injury in week 4 that kept him sidelined for the remainder of the season. He bounced back better than ever and returned to the starting lineup at TE and DE. His team went on to 3 straight state championships with Harrison collecting All-American honors in his Junior and Senior seasons. In his time in high school, it became the norm to see hordes of college scouts on the sideline with their eyes fixed on Harrison's every move. By the end of his junior season, he had offers from all of the major D1 schools. The choice was easy though. As a Gator fan his entire life, the choice was an easy one. Harrison commited to Florida early in the process and never wavered.

College career

Harrison accepted an athletic scholarship and joined the team for the 2034 season. As a freshman, most of his playing time came late in games where the fate of the game was no longer in question. In that time though, he showed flashes of his potential and ended the season with 25 tackles, 8 TFL, and 3 sacks.

With multiple upperclassmen leaving the team for the draft, Harrison found himself in the starting lineup as a sophomore. He took full advantage of the increased playing time and became a cornerstone of one of the best defenses in the country. He started every game of the 2035 season and racked up 50 tackles, 10 TFL, 4 sacks, and 3 forced fumbles. He carried this momentum into his junior season and was off to a great start before injuring his ankle in week 5, which left him sidelined for 2 weeks.Ultimately, he was able to compile 57 tackles, 12 TFL, 5 sacks, and 2 FF in 2036.

Many people in Harrison's inner circle advised him to declare for the draft early and not risk another season in college. His draft stock was very high and his family was concerned he may get injured again. Harrison felt he had unfinished business though and was determined to win a championship with Florida. The Gators were widely considered to be the favorites to win the national title in 2037 and he wanted to be a part of their run. It turned out to be the right decision as the Gators went undefeated with the help of the #1 defense in the country. They faced off against the Ohio State Buckeyes and won with a final score of 42-10. In the game, Harrison produced 5 tackles, 2 TFL, 2 sacks, and 1 forced fumble. He put up personal bests across the board in his senior season with 63 tackles, 17 TFL, 10 sacks, and 4 forced fumbles.

DSFL career

2038 Season

In the early stages of preparation for the DSFL Draft, Harrison Andrews was a lesser known prospect and sat on the lower end of draft boards and mock drafts. However as the draft drew closer, a couple DSFL teams started to take notice of the player Andrews could be molded into. Ultimately, Andrews was selected by the London Royals with the 23rd overall pick of the DSFL Draft. Though Andrews was listed as a defensive end, as the largest member of the Royals defensive line, he often lined up at defensive tackle to help with run support. The season started out rather rough for Andrews and the Royals with a 1-5 record through the first six games. Andrews struggled with the transition to the DSFL, often being unable to get off blocks or just unable to get his hands on the ball carrier quick enough as they broke through the line. These struggles were very apparent in the box score, as Andrews was generally last on the team in tackles. A change was made midway through the season to shift the Royals to a 3-3-5 defensive scheme which allowed Andrews to shift back outside. This move served as a boost for Andrews as he became a force on the line, regularly making plays in the opposing team’s backfield. The Royals also began turning things around. They team went 6-2 in the final eight games of the season and clinched a playoff spot by week 13, but ultimately lost the the Kansas City Coyotes in the Conference Championship, 14-13.

2039 Season

Andrews returned to the London Royals for a second season with the sting of the Conference Championship elimination still fresh. The goal for the season was clear. Only a season resulting in an Ultimini trophy would be seen as a success. The Royals found themselves light on talent in the secondary, leading to Andrews being tasked with a switch to cornerback. As the lone veteran in the secondary, Andrews found himself leading a young but extremely talented position group. With their youth at impact positions on defense, the Royals got off to a bumpy start with a 3-4 record through the first seven games. The team began to mesh midway through the season and battled their way to a 5-2 record in the final seven games to finish at 8-6 for the regular season. They clinched the top seed in the conference, giving the home field advantage against the Portland Pythons, which they were able to defeat, 22-3, for a trip to the Ultimini against the Norfolk Seawolves. The game against Norfolk proved to be a much tougher challenge, but the Royals emerged with a 24-17 win to bring home the franchise’s first Ultimini trophy.

Andrews led the DSFL in PDs on the season and was a key component in their conference-best passing defense (second in the league). Andrews exceeded expectations in his transition to cornerback, being nominated for cornerback of the year. He also set personal highs for tackles, interceptions, and PDs. In his play of the season, Andrews was able to break through the Tijuana Luchadores punt protection and lay out to get his hands on a punt attempt. In addition to the block though, Andrews was able to get back to his feet and scoop up the loose ball before outrunning the nearby Luchadores on his way to a 12 yard return for a touchdown.
