Hall attended Cheraw High School in Cheraw, South Carolina, where he lettered in football and baseball. In baseball, he lead his team to the AA State Championship, and was selected to the North/South All-Star team.^{[citation needed]}

[edit] College career

Hall attended the University of Delaware, and led the Fighting Blue Hens to the 2003 Division I-AA National Championship. He transferred to Delaware after starting his career at Georgia Tech. His wife, Mary Melissa, is a former Georgia Tech varsity cheerleader. He was the backup quarterback to George Godsey and was slated to become Georgia Tech's starter after Godsey graduated. However, Tech coach George O'Leary left to go after the Notre Dame job, and Chan Gailey took his place. Gailey picked A.J. Suggs to be the starter the following year with Damarius Bilbo as the backup, leaving Hall as the odd man out.^{[citation needed]}

In 2003 while on route to the national championship, Hall was named the Atlantic 10 Conference offensive player of the year. He completed 62 percent of his passes for 2764 yards and added 25 TD passes. Andy also ran for 710 yards and 8 more scores.

Andy finished his college career at UD with a school record 57.4 completion percentage for 4,596 yards and 34 touchdowns. He finished fifth on the school's all-time list with 6,169 yards of total offense.
