Liam Andrews made an impact early on during his career at Brookline (Massachusetts) Dexter Southfield High School, which is located just outside of Boston. Andrews has been on the varsity ever since his freshman season, and his coach said it didn’t take long to figure out he belongs on the next level and possibly beyond. “I think the thing that separates Liam from other talented kids across the country is the mentality he plays with, the edge he plays with,” Dexter Southfield coach Casey Day told On3’s Lettermen Row. “He almost has a defensive mentality playing offensive line. He attacks it with authority.” Andrews played a key role in helping Dexter Southfield win the 2021 NEPSAC Bowl championship and reach it again in 2022.
