From Small-Town Indiana To Baldwin Wallace Football

Send us Fan MailA quarterback journey rarely goes the way you draw it up, and Andrew Zimmerman proves it. We sit down and trace his path from growing up in Chesterton, Indiana to chasing college football opportunities, choosing Baldwin Wallace University, and learning what Division III football really demands when you’re fighting for reps at the hardest position on the field.From there, the conversation turns into the part most people never see: the grind of becoming a graduate assistant coach. Andrew breaks down how a shoulder injury reshaped his playing career, how friendships and resilience kept him in the game, and why GA life feels like drinking water through a fire hose. We get into recruiting, camp chaos, getting coached hard, and the growing role of analytics and data tracking in modern football operations. If you’re curious about coaching careers, sports management programs, or what it takes to work in college athletics, there are a lot of real details here.Andrew also shares what it’s like to pivot into higher education as a transfer admissions counselor at Baldwin Wallace, plus some Cleveland and Lakewood favorites, Chicago sports allegiance, Notre Dame passion, and college football predictions in the NIL and transfer portal era.
