Stats: 9 Tackles, 3 TFLs, 2 SacksrnA potential steal in the Class of 2023 is the 6’3″ 210 lbs ILB. Elijah has a big frame, with space to continue to add some weight. He is at his best playing downhill, and aggressive. The senior diagnoses plays quickly. His first highlight is a great example of that as he sniffs out a screen, gets past the OL with ease, and makes the tackle. His second highlight shows off some range as he goes across most of the field to bring down the QB for one of his sacks. UW- Platteville is his lone offer, so far. He needs more attention. Check him highlights below, and the rest of them.

Elijah was the biggest surprise of the game for me. He has added so much size this offseason compared to what he looked like in 2021. His play reflected that as well. He was so stout against the run and easily tracked down outside carries. His ability to shed blocks really jumped off the tape as well as he used his length to get separation. Krantz is a big, powerful ILB that will be making a jump in the rankings when we update them after the season. Coaches need to get on this 2023 early in the season.
