-A 2026 linebacker that I am surprised hasn’t gotten more attention, has been Josh Elder Josh Elder 6'1" | 220 lbs | LB St. Thomas More | 2026 State SD out of St. Thomas More as he has continued with his agile footwork down to the ball carrier.

-He is a linebacker that certainly has great vision especially in short areas, and can turn on a dime to change directions to still get the ideal pursuit angle. Great athletic movement for a 6’1 220 pounder.

-Oddly, Josh is still waiting on his first offer and I can’t figure out why as the tape is out there for this young man to play at the next-level.
