At 6′ and just over 150 lbs., Elder’s slight frame might turn away college evaluators, but we feel that his speed is a true difference-maker that will move the senior up recruiting boards this fall. Elder turns upfield quickly after the catch and shows an elite burst, which you look for in D1 athletes. Elder is a smooth operator coming out of his cuts, digging his cleats into the turf and tearing up the field to get as much yardage as possible. You have to be impressed with his ability to stretch the field vertically. Elder is among the early leaders in the state in receiver yards so far. The variety in how he scores, on top of showing good route running, solidifies Elder’s ability to impact the next level. When watching Elder’s earlier film in HS, you can see a noticeable difference in his top-end acceleration from junior to senior year. Now, if he can continue to fill out his frame with more muscle, then Elder should take another leap with his top-end speed, making him one of the true hidden gems in this recruiting class. Morgan County is playing great football this fall, so the senior is someone you want to watch closely each week; his recruitment could heat up quickly here as his senior film disseminates.
