BEST OF LUCK, ANDY!
BUCCANEERS U-20s player Andy Quinn has secured a scholarship to Boston College in the USA where he will commence in January 2025. The Creggs native has played with Buccs teams for the past number of years including featuring on our U-20s this season.
A prodigous placekicker, he came to the attention of American Football two years ago when winning ‘Ireland’s Kicking King’ contest in front of 43,000 people at the Aer Lingus Football Classic in the Aviva Stadium. Having come through the qualifying competitions, he was the only one to record a 100% success rate. This earned him a trip to USA where he received further coaching and, following several visits Stateside in the interim including a NFL Academy scholarship, he has chosen Boston College in order to give himself the best chance of competing in the professional National Football League. Boston College compete alongside such leading lights as Notre Dame and Florida State.
Now 19, Quinn played for the Irish Wolfhounds against Turkey in Ankara recently where he kicked 6 points and was named Most Valuable Player in the Irish squad. We wish Andy the best of luck in this opportunity of a lifetime.
