Veteran Elon lineman Chad Nelson brings versatility and leadership up front
Chad Nelson has been a long-time Elon offensive line piece, and in the 2019 season he started all 11 games while moving across three different line spots—a strong indicator of trust, football IQ, and plug-and-play value. His biggest differentiators are versatility, experience, and size/length that help him handle multiple blocking assignments. He looks like the kind of selfless, steady OL who can stabilize a room, though the latest publicly available roster info is older, so current 2026 performance and injury status aren’t clearly documented.
