It’s safe to say that Andre Levrone Jr has had a pretty colourful career so far.
He found fame when he hit the big time as an NFL star, but the professional sportsman ended up taking a different direction when he retired at just 25.
Let’s catch up with Andre Levrone Jr…
Andre Levrone Jr
Andre Levrone Jr was always pretty good at American football, so it was no surprise that he turned out to be a professional sportsman.
After he’d finished his studies in communication and media at the University of Virginia, he joined the Baltimore Ravens in April for 10 months, and then spent a further 10 months with the Carolina Panthers.
But the NFL star made a shock announcement when he revealed he’d be quitting his sports career and retraining as a commercial real estate advisor. We didn’t see that one coming!
However, Andre seems to have found his niche, and he’s working hard to climb the ladder in property.

He’s now working for Mackenzie Commercial Real Estate in their Columbia office, and he seems quite the busy man.
According to his profile on their website, Andre Levrone Jr “supports leasing and sales activities for office, industrial, and flex properties in the Washington, D.C. suburban markets.”
He’s also a licensed salesperson for the State of Maryland.
Football Career
Andre’s talents in American football was soon spotted by scouts, and he ended up signing a contract with the Baltimore Ravens when he was barely out of college.
Apparently he averaged 20.3 yards per catch as a senior, with 34 receptions for 689 yards.
He was initially signed up as a rookie, but soon became an integral part of the team.
After his contract was up, the NFL star made the move over to the Carolina Panthers, but things started to become difficult for Andre.
He was plagued with multiple injuries, and was finding it increasingly difficult to play.
Andre eventually made the hard decision to retire at just 25 years of age.

Sharing his thoughts on Instagram, Andre quipped:
“Mannnn, this is the 1st time in 20 years where the football season has rolled around & I’m not playing.
Deciding to no longer pursue a professional football career was a difficult decision, but a necessary one nonetheless.”
Dating Life
While Andre Levrone Jr has now taken a backseat when it comes to sports, the same can’t be said about his girlfriend…
The former NFL star has been dating Olympic hurdler Sydney McLaughlin. Not only is she a gold medallist, but she’s actually a world record holder too!
The couple have been dating since December 2020, and they’ve been inseparable ever since.

And after their years together, the loved-up couple finally got engaged at the Four Seasons Resort in Scottsdale last summer.
The announcement was made via Instagram, and fans were quick to offer their congratulations.
In a heartfelt post, Sydney wrote:
“I fall in love with you more and more each day off of the strength of your faith. Andre, you are the most God-fearing, passionate, honest, loving, hard working, protective, and genuine man I’ve ever met…
I truly did not know the definition of love until I met you; a sacrificial choice to lay down your life for the wellbeing of another. With that being said, there is no one I’d rather lay down my life for.”
Nobody’s really sure when their wedding will be taking place, but it’s thought to be at some point next year.
