About Elijah

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

Something I developed was being able to adapt to things that don’t go the way I want them too, and being able to overcome obstacles that are in the way of a goal.

lijah Clayton | LB | 5’11” 200 lbs
Clayton is a tough, physical linebacker with a nose for the football. At 5’11”, 200 pounds, he brings a strong combination of speed and strength, allowing him to shed blocks and make plays in space. He’s a reliable tackler who thrives in pursuit and has the athleticism to cover ground sideline-to-sideline.
