Size-upside NIU freshman still searching for his first box-score pop
Thomas McCoy enters the 2026 season as a 6-foot-1, 208-pound Northern Illinois wideout with intriguing build and developmental upside, but public stat trackers show no game logs or recorded college production yet, so the story is more projection than résumé right now[1][2]. He’s a low-fuss, high-upside fit if a staff wants a young receiver who can add physicality and grow into a role, but he’s still a watch-list guy rather than a proven impact target[1][3].
