Andrew Gregory Dalton is an American football quarterback for the New Orleans Saints of the National Football League. Nicknamed “The Red Rifle”, Dalton previously played for the Cincinnati Bengals, Dallas Cowboys, and Chicago Bears.
Where did Andy Dalton go to high school?
Dalton went to Katy High School in Katy, Texas, where he played for the Tigers football team. He split time as a junior in 2004 and then started only one full season at quarterback for Katy High School as a senior in 2005.
That year, he led the Tigers to the state finals, where they lost to Southlake Carroll, 34–20. As a senior, he threw for 2,877 yards with 42 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. That year, he was named the Greater Houston Area offensive player of the year by the Houston Chronicle.
Dalton was redshirted his freshman year, but he travelled with the team to every road game and was listed as the Horned Frogs’ third-string quarterback behind senior Jeff Ballard and redshirt freshman Marcus Jackson. Entering the 2007 season, Dalton competed with Jackson to be the starting quarterback.
Two weeks before the season opener against Baylor, TCU head coach Gary Patterson named Dalton the starter. He was named the 2007 Texas Bowl MVP in TCU’s 20–13 victory over Houston. Dalton finished his redshirt freshman season with 2,459 passing yards, ten touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. After going 8–5 as a freshman, he accumulated a record of 34–3 as a starter for the rest of his career at TCU.
