Andrew McElroy brings size and reliability to NIU’s receiving room
In the 2024 season, Northern Illinois wideout Andrew McElroy caught 26 passes for 264 yards over 13 games, ranking fourth on the team and showing steady involvement as a big-bodied target at 6-foot-3, 192 pounds. He entered NIU after three productive years at St. Thomas, where he earned preseason All-America buzz in 2023, and his profile suggests a smart, route-savvy receiver who can win with frame and consistency more than pure explosion. He looks like a useful fit for teams wanting a dependable chain-mover with proven production and a solid floor.
