Hall of Fame
ANDREW SCHUMACHER
(Football)
Andy Schumacher was a dominant defensive lineman who earned multiple All-West Virginia Conference and NAIA All-America citations with the Hilltoppers from 1988-91.
The Woodsfield, Ohio native exploded onto the scene as West Liberty's Defensive Freshman of the Year and never looked back. In addition to earning multiple West Virginia Conference Defensive Player of the Week honors, Schumacher was a 3-time All-WVIAC selection and earned back-to-back NAIA All-America honorable mention recognition.
The oldest of five football-playing brothers who earned All-Ohio honors at Woodsfield or Monroe Central High Schools, Andy saved his best for last at West Liberty. He broke the school's single-game and single-season quarterback sack records as a senior in 1991 and still ranks 4th among WL's all-time sack leaders. His school single-game record of 8 tackles-for-loss still stands more than 30 years later.
After graduating from West Liberty, Schumacher pursued a career in education. He teaches Construction Trades for the Switzerland of Ohio School District and also devotes considerable time to coaching, contract work and farming. A proud grandfather, known affectionately as "Pa," Schumacher enjoys spending time with his grandsons, Otto and Isaac
