long, lean Lindenwood target with upside and special-teams grit
In the 2026 season, Elijah Roy is listed as a 6-foot-3, 169-pound sophomore wide receiver for Lindenwood, and the biggest part of his appeal is still projection: a big frame, multi-sport pedigree, and a high-ceiling athletic profile from Pine Creek, where he was a four-year captain and state triple-jump champion. Lindenwood’s roster notes also say he did not appear in a game in 2025, so the story here is less about box-score production and more about development, length, and upside for a staff willing to bet on traits.
