Elim to me is a hidden gem hiding out at Harding County-Bison, as the 2028 RB was a late add on to our last 2028 South Dakota rankings update that I am glad we found to see how his progression shakes in 2026. It only takes one play to see how quick Elim can get out of high-traffic areas and explode past the defensive trenches with his great vision as well. Elim is also more elusive with his change of direction than I feel he’s gotten credit for the more we watch his tape as he shows that those traits contribute not only inside but along the edges. Such a hidden gem, that you probably (or I) can’t find a Twitter account for this kid yet.

Elim is a running back out of Harding County-Bison that struck a chord tonight in his eval. The 5’7 180 pounder, has sound vision and turns it into explosiveness when he gets free into the open field. I also liked how he used his change of direction early to find the opening off his first cut as Elim shows the deeper you get into his tape how elusive he can be. I think he has solid upside to grow getting yards after contact as you see glimpses of what he can do with that on tape, but there’s surely more to prove with two more seasons under his belt in the Broncs backfield.
