In 2021, the Corpus Christi native was voted the SWAC Newcomer of the Year. Also, he was a 2023 SWAC Preseason 2nd-Team Quarterback of the Year candidate behind Florida A&M's Jeremy Moussa.
The 6-1, 190-pound quarterback decided to redshirt this season following the loss to Prairie View A&M in the Labor Day Classic. His shoulder injury from the 2022 season-finale against Alabama A&M didn't completely heal.
However, Andrew Body is a competitor and attempted to help his team win the historic match-up versus the Panthers. During the contest, he threw for 286 yards, three touchdowns, and three interceptions as the Tigers fell 37-34 in an overtime heartbreaker at Shell Energy Stadium.
His dual-threat ability will make him a highly-coveted quarterback for most HBCU and FCS programs. Andrew Body could remain in Texas while Prairie View searches for senior Trazon Connley's successor this offseason.
