Title:
Co-Offensive Coordinator (Quarterbacks)
Email:

Andy Padron begins his third season at Bowling Green in 2018 as the Falcons’ Co-Offensive Coordinator, responsible for working with the quarterbacks. He joined BGSU in 2016 after spending six years at Texas Lutheran University.

In his second season at BGSU, Padron developed Jarret Doege into one of the top true freshmen quarterbacks in the country. He completed 64 percent of his passes and had 12 touchdowns to just three interceptions. PFF College Football ranked Doege with the second-highest completion percentage in the nation on long-developing pass plays, showing the tremendous poise he possessed for a true freshman.

In year one at BGSU, Padron mentored James Morgan to one of the best freshman quarterback seasons in program history. Morgan took over the starting role midway through the year and was named MAC East Offensive Player of the Week after throwing five touchdown passes at Toledo. He became the first freshman quarterback in program history to throw for 250+ yards in four consecutive games and threw for 300+ in back-to-back contests when he went for 335 at Toledo and 389 against Miami. Morgan’s 16 touchdown passes were the most for a freshman quarterback in school history and his 2,082 yards were second-most.

Padron joined his father, TLU Head Football Coach Danny Padron, on the coaching staff of the Bulldogs when he accepted the head coaching position in January 2010. The younger Padron handled the play-calling duties in 2011 as the quarterbacks coach and continued in that duty until accepting his current role at BGSU. He was elevated to offensive coordinator following the 2011 season.

In his six seasons with the Bulldogs, Padron coached an offense and individual players that combined to set 49 new TLU team and individual records.

After inheriting a program that went 6-24 in the three previous seasons, Padron helped engineer a turn-around that produced a 38-22 overall record over the next six seasons.

The Bulldogs won three Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Championships, claimed a 2014 NCAA Division III Championship playoff berth, and received repeated Top 25 national rankings.

The 2015 TLU Bulldogs won a third straight Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Championship and led the SCAC in nearly every offensive category. The Bulldogs went 3-0 in the SCAC and 8-2 overall, just missing out on an NCAA DIII at-large playoff berth.

As the team's quarterbacks coach, Padron guided TLU QB Trenton White to the 2015 SCAC Offensive Player of the Year award. White set the new TLU school record for career passing touchdowns (61).

White led the SCAC in passing yards, passing yards per game, completions (TLU single-season record 207), attempts, completion percentage and touchdowns. White finished second in TLU history in career passing yards (5,874) and completion percentage (62.7).

Among all NCAA DIII schools in 2015, the Bulldogs currently rank 22nd in total offense, 32nd in passing offense, 21st in scoring offense, 29th in first downs, 14th in red zone offense, 11th in time of possession, and 18th in completion percentage.

The 2014 TLU Bulldogs advanced to the NCAA Division III playoffs as an at-large bid team. The 2014 NCAA playoff appearance was TLU's first in NCAA DIII and the first in program history since the 1976 NAIA-II national semifinal.

The Bulldogs, 17th in the AFCA Coaches' Poll at the end of the 2014 regular season, fell 27-20 in the NCAA Football Championship first round to No. 2-ranked University of Mary Hardin-Baylor, in a game played at UMHB's Crusader Stadium over a weather-delayed two days.

The Bulldogs won a second consecutive SCAC Championship in 2014 behind an offense that (after 11 games) was ninth nationally in total offense (498.0 ypg), 14th in rushing offense (261.8 ypg), 19th in scoring offense (40.5 ppg), fourth in first downs offense (288), 31st in red zone offense (.864) and 21st in time of possession (1,995 minutes).

TLU running back Marquis Barrolle led all of NCAA Division III in rushing after 11 games, posting 1,792 rushing yards (a school record) on 297 carries (another school record). In the DIII playoff game against UMHB, Barrolle carried the ball a conference and school record 50 times for 224 yards against the then No. 14-ranked UMHB run defense.

In 2012, Padron and Bulldogs set new school team records for passing yards (3,253), passing yards per game (325.3), total offense per game (480.9), total offense in a single game (616, vs. Sul Ross State on Oct. 13) and for touchdown passes in a season (29).

The record book onslaught by the TLU Offense continued in 2013. On their way to the SCAC Championship, the Bulldogs led the league in total offense, rushing offense, passing offense, scoring offense, turnover margin, passing efficiency, fewest turnovers lost, fewest passes intercepted, first downs, third and fourth-down conversions, red zone offense, and pass completion percentage.

Nationally, the Bulldogs of 2013 had the third-best total offense (521.2 yards per game) in all of NCAA DIII. The Bulldogs also ranked ninth in passing offense (326.7), sixth in scoring offense (46.1), 14th in team passing efficiency (155.84 rating), 33rd in first downs (237), 24th in fourth-down conversion rate (.613), 40th in time of possession, and 27th in completion percentage (.643).

Padron coached TLU quarterback Brent Peavy to multiple individual school records and to the SCAC Offensive Player of the Year award. The Bulldogs of 2013 set new school records for passing yards per game, total offense per game, points per game, TD passes, and TDs per game.

Padron is a 2007 graduate of the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor, where he starred as a quarterback and helped UMHB to the NCAA Division III National Championship game in 2004.

Padron was a part of Cru football squads that went 41-8 from 2003 to 2006 and won four American Southwest Conference Championships.

Padron and his wife Sarah, a Texas Lutheran grad, were married in 2013.
