One of the Ivy League's premier student-athletes, Harvard's Andrew Berry has shown unparalleled dedication to both athletics and academics, becoming the Crimson's seventh NFF National Scholar-Athlete.

Named a John Harvard Scholar, ranking among the school's top five percent in grade point average, Berry was chosen as a 2007 ESPN The Magazine First Team Academic All-America selection as well as an Academic All-Ivy League pick. One of the Boston Globe's top students in the City of Boston, he was the lone choice from Harvard, working towards a degree in economics and a secondary degree in computer science. 

A two-time First Team All-Ivy League cornerback, the four-year starter has amassed 95 tackles and four interceptions during his career. In 2007, Berry did not have a ball thrown against him in man-on-man coverage in four consecutive games, as Harvard led the nation in pass defense. He also serves as the team's holder on field goal opportunities and returns kicks on special teams. 

The Bel Air, Md., native was an elected member of the Harvard Crimson Team Leadership Council in 2006 and '07 and was named to the 2008 AllState/AFCA Good Works First Team. Berry is the director of the Cambridge Youth Enrichment Program, which serves the needs of 150 low-income children ages 6-13, and a broadcast ministries member of Mt. Calvary Church. With a background in professional scouting and player personnel, Berry is now General Manager of the Cleveland Browns.
