Expert Analysis

The rise of Texas Tech offensive line commit Elias Gillen Elias Gillen 6'6" | 300 lbs | OL Rapid City Stevens | 2025 State SD has been one of my favorite one to track in this 2025 recruiting cycle in the Dakotas. The 6’6 300 pounder from Rapid City Stevens exploded this Spring and Summer with his recruitment as the Red Raiders were his first and only Power 4 offer on his radar yet had many suitors at the D1 and D2 levels. When I first caught wind of Elias on tape I was ecstatic to spread the word quickly, as there not many offensive tackles with his frame that are as mobile on their feet and with the pad-level Elias has in the Midwest. He also is about as physical at the point of attack as I have seen out of a Dakotas offensive linemen in a while and Red Raiders should be stoked to get this young man to Lubbock in the coming year.

One of my favorite winter tape finds prior to this 2025 South Dakota rankings update is Elias Gillen Elias Gillen 6'6" | 300 lbs | OL Rapid City Stevens | 2025 State SD out of Rapid City Stevens, as this kid is certainly a hidden gem as he lands at #8 overall. At 6’6 305 pounds. Elias constantly gets to the second level and his strength just rapidly shows at the point of attack as his control and physical hands fully grasp his defender to the core. He also has an athletic bend for his massive size. When you get Elias as a leading pull-blocker, he runs like a downhill bulldozer with his ability to combo block. All the feedback I have heard about Elias, points out as another Division I target on the offensive line coming out of Rapid City. Twitter

For 6’6 300 pounds, Elias shows much more foot speed than I envisioned when I first looked at his tape for his frame as I was highly impressed. He also shows off excellent pad-level that is right on the mark at the point of attack and is versatile with the blocking schemes he can incorporate in as one that constantly gets to the second level and finishes how you want a Division I level target to finish downhill. And do not get me started, when Elias gets downhill on a pull-block his combo-blocking ability is one of the most physical I have seen in the Dakotas in the last few years. High academic prospect as well, with a 4.0 GPA. I would have offered this young man yesterday if I was a D1 college recruiter.
