In my opinion, Elzey may be the best player on this team. He isn’t the biggest, but he may be the brightest defensive back in the area. He plays the game at a different rate when it comes to the mental factor, as he always seems to be one step ahead. You can tell that his film work is on point, as he almost seems to have the cheat sheet to all of the answers. He is fun to watch in person and is someone who could be contributing at a college in year one with the right pieces and coaches around him. Regardless, he will be a captain on this defense and is bound to have some big moments in 2026.
