This concurrent resolution commends Andrew Whitworth for his induction into the 2025 Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame, highlighting his remarkable athletic and professional achievements. Born in Monroe, Louisiana, Whitworth excelled in high school football at West Monroe High School, winning three state championships and becoming a tennis champion, before continuing his success at Louisiana State University (LSU), where he was an outstanding offensive tackle and helped the Tigers win a national championship in 2003. He was drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals in 2006 and went on to have a distinguished 16-year NFL career, playing for the Bengals and Los Angeles Rams, during which he earned four Pro Bowl selections, two All-Pro honors, and became the oldest offensive tackle to start and win a Super Bowl. Beyond his athletic prowess, Whitworth is celebrated for his community leadership, receiving the 2021 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award and establishing the Big Whit 77 Foundation with his wife Michelle, through which he has made significant charitable contributions, including a $250,000 donation to the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank during the COVID-19 pandemic. The resolution honors his legacy as both an exceptional athlete and a compassionate community leader.
