Andy Padron returned to his alma mater to take over the offensive ranks in February 2022. He helped the Cru to an NCAA Division III Semifinal appearance in his first season, coaching quarterback Kyle King, who broke multiple school records along the way. King was also the first quarterback to be named a Gagliardi Trophy finalist since Cody Fredenburg (2003) and first quarterback in program history to be named to an AFCA All-America team. 

Padron spent three seasons as offensive coordinator at DeSoto High School, where he guided the Eagle offense to two state quarterfinal finishes. Padron also spent three seasons at Bowling Green State University as co-Offensive Coordinator, where he mentored a true freshman to be one of the top quarterbacks in the country. He started his collegiate coaching career with American Southwest Conference football affiliate Texas Lutheran University in 2010.  He spent one year as the Bulldogs' quarterbacks coach before serving as the program's offensive coordinator for four years. Padron helped lead a winless Bulldog team to a national ranking, first NCAA postseason appearance and and three conference championships. 

Padron is a 2007 graduate of UMHB where he played four years of quarterback under Pete Fredenburg. He was part of the 2004 UMHB football team that made program history with the school's first national championship appearance.  Padron helped UMHB to four ASC Championships as his senior class held a record of 41-8. 

He and his wife, Sarah, have two daughters, Carrington and Landrey.
