Chiseled, almost looks like a basketball player, lean cut and long-limbed. Elijah Newby Elijah Newby 6'3" | 210 lbs | LB Cheshire Academy | 2024 State New E , the second PAC-12 commit on this list, stakes his claim as the prospect with the highest upside. Although I believe that to be Umeh, choosing Newby as the potential future All-American makes sense as well. At this level, Elijah Newby Elijah Newby 6'3" | 210 lbs | LB Cheshire Academy | 2024 State New E fits the prototypical build of a freak OLB who is proficient in pass coverage, who can rush the passer, who can set the edge. That guy offensive coordinators have nightmares about, that guy looks and is shaped like Elijah Newby Elijah Newby 6'3" | 210 lbs | LB Cheshire Academy | 2024 State New E , What’s worse, Newby can double as a TE prospect if need be, at least at this level.
