Andrew Ravadge, who started at center for the Missouri S&T football team for two seasons and has assisted the Miner coaching staff for the last four years, is in his third season as the offensive line coach for the Miners.

A year ago, he worked with an offensive line that helped the Miner offensive set a modern day record for points with 458 and average 440.7 yards per game.  The offensive line allowed the Miner running attack to average 175.1 yards per game and allowed only 13 quarterback sacks in 11 games as the Miners went 10-1.

Ravadge worked with an offensive line unit that allowed the Miners to post their highest per game rushing average since 2008 during the 2011 campaign.  As a unit, the Miner offense averaged 5.1 yards per play last season and 342.3 yards per game.

Ravadge joined the Miner football program as a player in 2006 after spending two years at DeAnza College in California and one at Cal Polytechnic State University. He started in 18 games during the 2006 and 2007 seasons for the Miners at the center position.

He stayed in the Miner program as a student assistant and graduate assistant coach for the next three years, working with the offensive line for two seasons and with the tight ends during the 2010 campaign.

Ravadge, who received his bachelor’s degree from Missouri S&T in business information systems, is originally from Cupertino, Calif., where he was a first-team all-conference selection and scholar-athlete at the high school level.
