Mike Andrews returns to the Howard University football team as assistant special teams coach.
Andrews comes back to Howard after spending three seasons at Bowie State University (2023-25) where he served as Special Teams Coordinator. In that role, Andrews was responsible for coaching the Bulldogs’ kicking units and all aspects of special teams play, helping to improve performance in kickoff, punt return, field goal, and coverage units — key phases that contributed to the overall team success on the field where they were routinely ranked in the the top three in the CIAA Conference.
In his first stint at Howard, Andrews served as Special Teams and Kicking Coach for six seasons (2011-16) where he produced five All-MEAC honorees while contributing to the Bison’s first winning seasons in a decade (2012). During his tenure, he helped develop the top special teams units in the MEAC.
Andrews has also held previous special teams/kicking coach spots at almost every level of football, including his alma mater Morgan State University, Salve Regina University, University of Arizona, D.C. Defenders of the XFL, Bowie State University, along with Bishop McNamara and Riverdale Baptist High School, both located in the DMV.
At Morgan State, he earned recognition throughout the MEAC and was named to the all-conference team as a senior with the Bears.
Following his graduation from Morgan State, Andrews had a short stint with the National Football League (NFL). While in the NFL, Andrews served as both a punter and placekicker for the Chicago Bears.
