I remember Cole Lainge telling me about Tuscarora’s Zain Elian Zain Elian 5'9" | 160 lbs | RB Tuscarora | 2027 State VA a year ago and once again he was right. Elian is a game changing type of running back whose recruiting is starting to blow up. Including his first division 1 offer from Davidson last week, his hard work is starting to pay off.

My colleague Cole Laing told me about Zain Elian Zain Elian 5'9" | 160 lbs | RB Tuscarora | 2027 State VA a couple years ago, pretty impressive running back for Tuscarora. Herndon had no answer for him yesterday, he gashed them for 4 touchdowns and over 200 total yards.

Fun to watch this prospect playing for the DMV Attack, Zain Elian Zain Elian 5'9" | 160 lbs | RB Tuscarora | 2027 State VA makes plays. Elian has real potential to earn all conference recognition for Tuscarora in 2026, the young man has a knack for finding the endzone. He looks healthy too, was one of the fastest player I witnessed all weekend.

A quick and agile back, Zain has already picked up an offer from Bluefield St. He displays good short-area quickness, acceleration, change of direction and speed. This athleticism allows him to be creative as a ball carrier and create yards when blocking breaks down. He also has kick and punt return ability providing more value to his game. On defense, he plays Safety displaying good range in pass and run defense.
