FSU Football: Top Five ‘Sleeper’ Recruits Under Jimbo Fisher
By Kelvin Hunt
Nate Andrews came to FSU as a three-star defensive back from Alabama. He was the No. 688 overall player in the 2013 class.
Andrews was previously committed to Minnesota and flipped to the ‘Noles about a week before National Signing Day.
Andrews was one of two defensive backs taken in that class. The other player was Jalen Ramsey.
Andrews burst on the scene as a true freshman on the 2013 National Championship team, leading the team with four interceptions with All-ACC Third Team honors and several All-America Second Team Honors.
He had 93 tackles his sophomore season and three more interceptions. However, his role reduced a bit in 2015 due to injuries.
Injuries appeared again in 2016 with Andrews being granted a medical red-shirt. He has one year of eligibility remaining and will likely play a reserve role, but his experience should be valuable to the up and coming players.
Thus far he has 171 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss and 8 interceptions. When healthy he has gotten about as much out of his talent level as one could get.
