George Joseph Andrie (born April 20, 1940) is a former professional football player, a defensive end in the National Football League for eleven seasons with the Dallas Cowboys, from 1962 through 1972. He played college football at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, which dropped its program after his junior season.
Born and raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Andrie graduated from Catholic Central High School in 1958. He chose to play football across Lake Michigan at Marquette, where his older brother Stan had played on the line in the early 1950s. The Marquette football team was historically known as the "Golden Avalanche", as well as the other Marquette nicknames of Hilltoppers and Warriors. During his sophomore and junior seasons (1959 & 1960), Andrie led the team in receiving both years from his slotback position. As a two-way player, he was also ranked among the team's tackle leaders, registering over 80 tackles as a defensive lineman. After a 3–6 season in 1960 under head coach Lisle Blackbourn, the university dropped the football program in December, citing financial issues. Given the option to transfer, he explored an opportunity at Tulsa in 1961, but soon returned to Marquette. Unsure of his ability to succeed at the pro level, he focused on academics and worked on his physical conditioning during his senior year.
