Andy Levitre Earns Second Shot at College Football Hall of Fame

The former Oregon State star’s distinguished career fuels his 2027 Hall of Fame nomination

Andy Levitre, the former Oregon State standout who anchored the Beavers’ offensive line from 2004 through 2008, has been placed on the 2027 College Football Hall of Fame ballot for the second consecutive year, a testament to a career that blended collegiate dominance with a solid decade in the NFL.

A career built on technique and teamwork

During his time in Corvallis, Levitre’s consistency helped the program achieve two 1,000‑yard rushing seasons and three bowl victories, while his senior year earned him first‑team All‑Pac‑10 honors, an All‑American nod, and the distinction of team captain. He also captured the university’s male Tom Hansen Medal, recognizing academic and athletic excellence.

After being selected in the second round of the 2009 NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills, Levitre went on to start 143 games over ten seasons, contributing to the Bills, Tennessee Titans, and Atlanta Falcons before hanging up his cleats in 2019.

Looking ahead to the 2027 class

The Hall of Fame’s voting process will remain open until July 1, 2027, with the announcement of the 2027 inductees slated for early that year, keeping Levitre’s legacy in the conversation as the class takes shape.

Levitre’s repeated presence on the ballot reflects not only his on‑field achievements but also the lasting impact he has had on the teams and fans who witnessed his relentless play. As the 2027 class takes shape, he joins a select group of former Oregon State alumni whose contributions have left an indelible mark on college football, underscoring the program’s rich history.
