Drafted out of high school by the Miami Marlins in the 5th round of the 2012 Major League Baseball draft, Andrew's decision ultimately was made once the entire Santacroce family had a discussion. The entirety of the Santacroce family were all former Division 1 college athletes, amongst both his father/mother “David & Rosanne” (University of Susquehanna: football & University of Houston: softball) while also having his older sister(former Texas A&M tennis player) “Lauren Santacroce”. Education was the catalyst to the family concluding their final decision in which Andrew had officially made his NCAA debut as an All American true freshman at the University of Texas Tech in the 2012-2013 season. After one season in Lubbock, Santacroce entered the transfer portal where he went across state lines to Norman, Oklahoma. NCAA regulations forced him to sit out one year, due to the ruling stating you could not transfer from division 1 to division 1 without losing a year of eligibility.
