Elijah Burns brings productive, compact rushing upside to Southern Utah
Burns is a useful depth-and-rotation running back for Southern Utah, and his 2024 season line showed 72 rushing yards on 28 carries with four catches for 22 yards across three games and two starts[5]. His profile points to a physical, functional back who can contribute in small doses, but the publicly available results do not yet show a high-volume or explosive feature role[2][5][6]. For a team, he looks like a fit if you want a steady, camp-competitive RB who can handle touches and offer some pass-game utility, rather than a proven marquee producer[5][6].
