Andrew Fronczek was an outstanding tackle on the Richmond football team. He was a Third Team All-State selection in 1938 and First Team All-State honoree in 1940.

He was labeled as "tough as nails" on the football field by sports editors. He was a letterwinner on the Spiders' baseball squad as a freshman and regarded academically as one of the top student-athletes during his years at Richmond. A native of Harvey, Ill., Fronczek played shortly in the National Professional Football League for the Brooklyn Football Dodgers.
