Elijah is of average to below-average size for the next level(DI), ideally suited as an interior offensive lineman at center or guard. He has potential for growth and adding lean mass. His strengths include long arms, a solid lower base, and the ability to pull and block effectively. However, he needs to play more aggressively, with a stronger physical presence and improved hand technique. While proficient in pass protection and footwork, he can enhance his technique and maintain a better base. With a more dominant playing style, Elijah could become a strong Division I prospect with playing time by his second or third college year.
