Corey Lersch brings veteran size, special-teams punch, and high-IQ reliability to NIU
Corey Lersch is a 6-foot-3, 250-pound Northern Illinois tight end who has shown real versatility, plus a sneaky special-teams edge: in his NIU career, he averaged more than 25 yards per catch with five touchdowns on 24 receptions, and he also blocked a punt against Ohio in 2019. His biggest differentiators are physicality, versatility, and coach-friendly dependability—he even posted a 3.978 GPA and earned Academic All-MAC honors in 2019. If you want a tough, assignment-sound TE who can help in multiple phases, Lersch looks like a strong fit.
