Is the son of UNH great Andre Garron now playing for the Cats? (forgive me I live in the Midwest and don't get to see UNH football much).
Andre Garron Sr. in my opinion is the 3rd greatest running back that has played for UNH in my lifetime (behind Jerry Azumah and Billy Burnham). As I remember Coach Bowes threw him in at Running back in a game as a Freshman (probably redshirt) and he gained something like 250 yards and scored a bunch of touchdowns. Fast strong runner, very hard to tackle. He had a bad knee injury up in Dartmouth in 1984 still I think he played well in 1985. Great player.
Here is a Sports Illustrated line from 1983 when he was the SI player of the week:
OFFENSE: In a 52-28 win over Lehigh, New Hampshire Tailback Andre Garron ran for 149 yards and two touchdowns, caught TD passes of 27 and 63 yards and returned a kickoff for yet another score.
