Explosive NIU WR with track-speed upside, but the target volume has been thin
Andrew Bond is a 5-foot-11, 187-pound junior wideout for Northern Illinois who brings speed and athlete-ish juice more than volume production, with 2025 stats showing just 2 targets and no catches before an undisclosed injury/availability note late in the season. That makes him a watch-list fit rather than a proven centerpiece: the appeal is his quick-twitch profile and playmaking upside, while the concern is that he hasn’t yet translated traits into steady receiving output. In short: intriguing depth-piece energy, not a sure-fire feature receiver—yet.
