ELCO head coach Rob Miller states that “Elliott is a terrific two-way starter for us who has a really bright future as a college prospect. He is incredibly versatile on offense and has shown great straight-line speed as a running back but also an old school punishing running style. As a Tight End he has soft hands and plays with outstanding leverage and led the team in pancakes. On defense he will return as an inside linebacker for us in 2024. His ability to read and hit windows to the ball carrier is high level. He plays on angles really well and tackles with physicality. He is a high academic student with great character as well as very good numbers in the weight room”.
