Joey Andres brings size and fresh upside to Northwestern’s secondary
Joey Andres is a 6-foot-1, 195-pound redshirt freshman defensive back for Northwestern College, giving the Red Raiders a bigger frame on the back end and a developmental piece with upside in coverage and run support[1][2]. He arrived as part of Northwestern’s 2025 signing class out of Spirit Lake/Okoboji and is listed on the 2026 roster as No. 17, but public stat lines and award-style rankings are not readily available yet, which usually means the story here is projection, not production[2][3]. If a team wants length, physicality, and a younger DB to mold, Andres looks like a sensible fit[1][2].
