Eleby ran for a career-high 279 yards on just eight carries with four touchdowns in Morse’s 63-44 win over Monte Vista. He also had 75 yards receiving with a pair of touchdowns.

This was my second time seeing Eleby in person this year and both times he really impressed me. Obviously, the first thing you are going to notice are the numbers. In this game against Monte Vista, Eleby racked up over 300 yards of total offense and 6 touchdowns. He was truly unstoppable. In the previous game I saw, he had 5 receiving touchdowns but last night he did most of his work on the ground. He had touchdown runs of 75, 63, 42 and 76 yards.

When I watch Eleby, what really impresses me is his size. A lot of HS wideouts have not filled out their frame yet and are really thin. Eleby is solid, looking much bigger than his listed 200 lb weight. Eleby already possesses a college ready frame which is not common for high school juniors. He uses this size to fight through contact and to make contested catches in the endzone. I don’t know if I would classify him as a speed threat but he manages to pull away from defenders as a long strider who maintains top speed with little wasted movements. As a pass catcher, he has incredibly strong hands and often secures the ball while going up in traffic. The junior should continue to rack up attention and offers with this playoff run and next season.

Eleby really emerged as one of the best big play wide receivers in all of San Diego this year. He completed his regular season with over 1300 yards of total offense and 17 touchdowns. He also managed to chip in two kick returns for touchdowns as well. The 6’2″ 200 lb athlete posted 4 100 yard receiving games and 2 100-yard rushing games. I was impressed with his overall speed and ability to extend plays after the catch. He appears to me more of a long strider than a truly explosive runner, but he does a good job at maintaining his top speed throughout long runs. His frame allows him to fight through arm tackles in the secondary and continue plays through contact.

Eleby caught seven passes for 189 yards with a touchdown in Morse’s 19-10 win over Coronado. He also ran for 42 yards on six carries.
