Elijah Wood brings size, versatility, and a proven tackling résumé to Utah Tech’s linebacker room
A 6-foot-3, 215-pound redshirt junior, Elijah Wood arrived at Utah Tech after four seasons at San Jose State, where he appeared in 20 games and posted 29 tackles in 2022; his profile suggests a long, multi-position defensive background that fits a physical, assignment-sound linebacker role. Utah Tech’s roster and bio pages list him at linebacker, and his high school tape shows the kind of versatility coaches love: linebacker, safety, corner, receiver, tight end, and return work. That said, publicly available 2026 game-level stat detail is limited, so his value is best judged by fit, length, and experience rather than headline numbers.
