Elliott Chaney brings size, leadership, and projectable upside to South Alabama’s offensive line
In the 2026 season, Elliott Chaney enters South Alabama as a freshman OL/center at 6-foot-5, 305 pounds, with recruiting grades that marked him as a solid developmental add rather than an instant headline-maker. What stands out is the off-field profile: Oxford staff praised his consistency, toughness, leadership, and trustworthiness, and he was a team captain in high school. If you want a lineman with long-term upside, size, and a reputation for being dependable in the trenches, he’s a smart fit; if you need immediate polish, this is more of a growth play than a finished product.
